Test System

Assembly

Once the motherboard is in place, you can clearly see that there is loads of space on three sides. Due to numerous openings, you are not really able to completely hide all cables from view.


Installing an SSD can easily be done on the plate. Simply take it off the motherboard tray and secure the drive with the included screws. Once filled, you may put it back on to the chassis. Thanks to the slight separation between the plate and motherboard tray due to shape, you will not have any issues connecting cables to the drives either.


3.5" drives do not require any tools as the tray may be pulled apart slightly, allowing you to place the drive before snapping things down by squeezing the tray back together. Once filled, it slides right back into one of two spots and is nice and secure.


Adding a power supply is also straightforward—slide it in underneath the shroud and secure it with classic case screws. There is plenty of space, so you may go for larger units if needed.


With everything installed, the DIYPC Trio-GT-RGB makes a clean impression. Naturally, grommets would have helped make it look even better. I managed to minimize the number of exposed cables behind the motherboard tray by routing all the case wires through the side of the front panel.

Finished Looks

Once all the panels are put back into place, the exterior looks of the DIYPC Trio-GT-RGB clearly take over again because of the tinting of all the panels. The fans light up with individual LEDs in ring formation due to their placement in the frame. Them being exposed, you can still clearly see the parts within your system as well, while the cable mess behind the motherboard tray is thankfully not really visible. In the rear, everything looks quite standard, which is as you would expect it to be for a modern ATX chassis.


Just in case the RGB fans are not indicative enough of the system being up and running, DIYPC also embedded a blue LED in the power button.


Thanks to the RGB elements in the chassis and the included controller, you may cycle through seven different colors in three different animations (circularly flashing, breathing, and stable), which looks pretty cool due to the exposed LEDs.
