Hex Gear R40 Micro-ATX Chassis Review

Interior
The chassis is pretty much complete now, with just the side panels remaining. The motherboard backplate is nicely laid out and you can better appreciate the various cable routing holes it has to offer as well as the extremely large amount of clearance for your graphics cards; literally any graphics card on the market will fit in here with ease.
The 360mm radiator or fan mount. It’s worth pointing out that I have built this chassis in inverted format, so the case is technically upside down in these pictures.
The expansion slot covers.
The rear fan mount; perfect for a 120mm exhaust fan.
There’s a huge amount of space behind the motherboard for cable management, more than you’ll find on virtually any chassis. You’ll notice the four large stand-offs on the left side of the back panel. There’s a large plate to mount here, but it seems that would be best installed after you’ve finished routing your cables.
The hard drive plate needs removing to install your drives, but it’s attached with four simple bolts, so that shouldn’t be too difficult.
Overall, this is a great looking case, but I’m sure you’re as eager as I am to see what it’ll look like with our components installed.
