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.

In terms of PSU area, the CRYSTAL 680X does extremely well since even a 800W model leaves plenty of room on the adjustable stand.

 

 

You can indeed use up to E-ATX sized mainboards (we used a regular ATX sized one) but by doing that you may not be able to install a complete radiator with fans at the bottom.

 

 

With enough room for 180mm tall CPU air coolers you should be able to use any model in the market currently.

 

 

Unless you plan on using a very long graphics card you can even mount a thick 360mm radiator at the front area (we used a 56mm thick one for this review - still that leaves less than 270mm for a graphics card).

 

 

Of course, you can always use three 240/280mm radiators at the front/top/base of the case simultaneously (we used a 280mm one at the top).

 

 

The CRYSTAL 680X has room for up to 330mm long graphics cards (unless you decide to mount a radiator at the front) so the 280mm one we use leaves plenty of room.
