Assembly

As you can see there is plenty of space around the mini-ITX motherboard. The Zotac ION board used comes with a heatsink and slim fan, but due to the limited vertical space available those utilizing actual, full size sockets should make sure to either use the OEM cooler or an aftermarket, low-profile unit.


There is some space between the PSU and board, so even if the CPU cooler is quite wide, things should fit perfectly fine. All the cables of the power supply are long enough, but sleeved cables would have been an nice touch to keep things a bit cleaner - not that you will ever see the interior of the device anyways.


As mentioned before, due to the design, the drive cage needs to be filled before placing it back into the chassis. All the parts fit perfectly fine, but the Hummin' 3.03 cannot hold a 2.5 inch SSD for example. You will have to resort to using a tray for such a drive.


Connecting the drives can be somewhat tricky as there is very little space between the fan and rear of the optical drive/hot-swap bay. Thanks to the removable rear cover however, this turns out to be no problem at all.

Finished Looks

Even if one may say the system does not look attractive, considering its intended use, the case does make a very unique impression. Coupled with the touch screen, the entire scenario changes and the Hummin' 3.03 may remind you of the Origen S21T, as both feature large touch screen displays in the front.


In the rear all areas of the system are easily accessible, just as you would expect from a mini-ITX chassis.
