Screws For Assembly
Do NOT Overtighten The Screws! — Stop turning once resistance is felt; do not exceed one-quarter turn
🧭 Tip: Fasteners differ in length and head shape - lining them up side by side can help with identification
Use The Mat
Build on the included mat to protect panels from scratches!
Optimize Airflow
For less dust, set intake airflow through the Side Panels with dust-filtering holes, and exhaust through the Top & Bottom Panels
🧭 Tip: Top/Bottom Panel Intake Setups Are Supported.
Dust filters are also available as an accessory for this type of airflow setup
Install PSU Bracket
Choose either the SFX Bracket or ATX Bracket for installation
Use your power supply screws to secure the bracket — use 3 screws ONLY to avoid interference
Secure PSU to MB Plate
Check orientation — the MB Plate's flat side should face the PSU
