Installation

The PSU goes into its own thermal zone on the left side of the case. You can install it either way rotated, the screw holes allow it.
If your PSU has a sideways fan you can align it in a way so that no heat from the PSU will end up into the system because the PSU airflow goes just through the PSU.


Motherboard installation is of course very easy with all the available space. The only minor issue I had is that you can't easily remove the doors - they sometimes get in your way.
The Thermaltake Mozart TX can accept all sizes of ATX and BTX motherboards.


Harddisk installation is pretty straightforward too. Remove the HD tray, insert HDD(s), screw them down with included screws, put HD tray back in and connect cables.


The included VFD display goes into a special mounting on the case front. In the package was a retail version of the VFD which is sold standalone. In order to install it you have to remove its front bezel by unscrewing four screws (all explained in the manual in detail) and screwing it in the front. I had some small problems here because the screw holes didn't properly align. This could be fixed with a little bit of force though.

If you want to read more about the VFD, it's the same unit as the SoundGraph iMon VFD reviewed here.

Finished look

I have to say this case looks DAMN sexy in my living room. However, I think that a non-window version might look slightly better for the clean look, instead of looking too techy.




I'm very tempted to rearrange everything to find the perfect spot, on the other hand I'm personally more into small form factor Media PCs as you can see here.
