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.

Once again we used a full size ATX mainboard and as you can see the only "problem" with using an E-ATX model would be that it would also cover the three rubber grommets.

Taking a look from the side makes us all wonder as to the why Thermaltake didn't use a slightly longer mainboard tray.

Next we placed a 360mm radiator at the top with 3 120mm fans which as you can all see felt right at home without any changes.

Of course you can also place longer 420/480mm radiators at the top as long as you remove the first 5.25" drive bay as seen above.

Even the longest graphics card in the office (Gainward GeForce GTX590) is no match for the Core X9 as you can all see from the above picture.

The same goes for the power supply unit we used and the good news is that you can still mount at least one 120mm fan right next to it.

Even with all the components we installed (not really many but quite large) the Core X9 still has room for anything you could ever hope to install inside a PC case.
