BUILDING THE SYSTEM

As always the purpose of this section is not to build a functional system but rather to showcase what you can expect from the case at hand in terms of interior space.

Some of you will probably install micro-ATX mainboards inside the F12C but since it has the room we decided to showcase its interior space with a ATX model.

The F12C has room for up to 135mm tall CPU coolers so that along means that either you will need to use a top down model, one of the latest "small" models or a water cooling solution (AIO or custom loop).

Streacom has given enough room over at the PSU area for even the longest models but if you use a regular sized one it would be far easier to mount one or two 2.5/3.5" drives vertically as seen above.

The downside of using a full ATX mainboard is that you will not be able to mount a radiator on the left panel.

You can still mount however a couple of 3.5" drives (four 2.5" ones) and a 120mm intake or exhaust fan as seen above (or four 3.5" drives and eight 2.5" ones).

Did i mention you can also mount even the longest graphics cards (we used our own GeForce GTX590) in the F12C?

The great news however isn't that you can mount even the longest graphics cards inside the F12C but that you can do so and use a top 240mm radiator as seen above.

Of course if your memory modules have tall heatsinks you may not be able to mount a very thick radiator.

So are you impressed yet from all the components you can fit inside the F12C?
