Completed SystemInitially building the components into the chassis didn’t take much time to complete and that included having time available for cable management which was very simple to do and will increase airflow throughout the case.
Installing an optical drive was a painless task that involved removing the desired bay panel, and sliding your drive into place. With the assistance of the NZXT branded locking lever, the holes of the drive could be lined up and the lever locked down into place.
The storage drives are simply installed by removing the locking mechanism and sliding your drive into the relevant location. Once the drive has been lined up, the locking mechanism can then be installed back into place and locked down.
Power supply installation was simple via use of the 4 mounting screws specific for this task. Once this was in place, the majority of cables can be easily be passed through the cut-outs in the motherboard tray for cable management.
Once the components were installed into the chassis, we arranged the cables as best as possible, with the space provided to us.
In regards to hiding certain cables, this was quite easily achieved due to the space between the motherboard tray and the area where the side panel fixes onto the chassis.
Seems like a really good case considering the price, at least if the "faulty sample" issue is true.Great review andy, as always
Looks to be an EXCELLENT case when considering the price. In the US, these cases are available at <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=source+210&x=0&y=0">Newegg for $50USD, and $10USD less for the 'non-Elite' version. Which brings up a question: what's the difference between the Source210 and the Source210 Elite? It's only a $10USD price change so actual difference in design/features can't be that large….
