A Closer Look - Inside

To gain access to the interior of the chassis, you will first have to remove the four screws holding each panel in place. Looking at the main side, it becomes apparent why Raijintek hasn't gone with a larger window as a hard-drive bracket takes up the top half of the interior. It can hold up to two 2.5'' or 3.5" drives, which you can mix and match in any way you like.


On the other side is a motherboard tray with several holes to aid in cable routing. There are also two simple SSD brackets which sit flush on the board. It would have been nice to see them with a bit of room for their cables during assembly.


The optical mounting brackets are simple, but effective. They sit right between the PSU and front panel, making the most of the limited space available. In front of these is the fully sized ATX drive bay. It comes with two sets of mounting holes. You could, as such, have the fan facing toward the front or chassis interior.


The only included fan is set to push hot air out the back of the chassis and comes with a 3-pin connector. The five motherboard expansion slots are each protected by a cover, which is in turn held in place by a traditional screw.


You will also find a 120 mm fan-mounting possibility on the floor of the Styx, which is nice, but lacks a dust filter. Next to it is another possibility for a 3.5" storage drive. This brings the total number of possible storage units up to five, which should be plenty for most users.


Taking a quick look at the ceiling through the interior, there are mounting holes for the fans or the radiator below the metal-mesh cover. To gain access to these, simply push the mesh cover out as it is only held in place by plastic clips.


All the cables within the Raijintek Styx are sleeved black and of the traditional variety - you should, as such, run into no issues when it comes to connecting these to a modern motherboard. The USB 3.0 cable also comes with an alternative USB 2.0 plug should your motherboard not feature a header for the newer connector.
