Review System Setup

• As much consistency as possible is employed in terms of the review system hardware to illustrate the different experiences of a chassis while staying consistent with components
• Out-of-the-box fan setup is retained and the largest possible AIO is fitted. Stock fans are only moved or removed if AIO placement is not otherwise possible
• Cable management utilizes red zip ties for easy visibility for the review to showcase mounting location possibilities. Management layout aims to include the use of Velcro, cable channels etc.
• 2.5" and 3.5" drives are installed to illustrate the experience of assembly, however remain mostly unconnected in the final build, as SATA ports tend to be fragile and will break with hundreds of connect/disconnects
• Systems are fully functional and booted up for the illustration portion of the finished build
• While we usually have a dedicated, AIO equipped ITX setup, we are using a secondary, air cooled system to allow for longer GPUs to be installed instead. This is just for the visual portion of the review, as the thermal testing is still done with the same setup as all other case reviews.
