A look Inside

To access the unit's insides, users will have to remove all the screws from the bottom of the unit. Having removed those screws, the bottom can gently be pulled off for access to some system components. The interior makes it clear why the unit is so heavy. The amount of metal here is insane. The inner metal frame along with the massive number of heatsinks and fans are what make it feel so sturdy.


The two heatsinks and fans in the first image above cool the SLI GTX 1080 graphics cards, which use the MXM 3.0 slots. Comprised of multiple heat pipes and a blower-style fan cooler, it certainly looks to be up to par. Meanwhile, the CPU, an Intel Core i7-7700k, is cooled by a similar heatsink and fan combo. The subwoofer is also visible next to the CPU, along with two of the system's DDR4 SO-DIMM slots. Towards the front of the unit, users have access to two 2.5 inch SATA3 HDD bays.


The keyboard is held in place by a few small tabs and magnets. Simply push in a tab and gently lift, working your way around the top edge. Once out of the frame, slide the keyboard back towards the monitor to lift it out. Once removed, you will find two more SO-DIMM slots and three M.2 slots.


The Samsung 960 PRO 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD is located under the keyboard. It is the only storage installed in this configuration. When it comes to the battery, Eurocom has used an 89 Wh LI-ION battery that is back-rated at 5700 mAh. The memory used in this configuration is from Crucial and consists of two 8 GB DIMMs for a total of 16 GB; these are CL17 sticks rated at 2400 MHz with 1.2 volts.
