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.

As expected from a midi tower using a full sized ATX mainboard takes up most available space (a nice surprise was the vertical cable management opening which lines up with the SATA ports).

This is why Raidmax doesn’t mention anything about the top area, there’s simply no room to install a radiator with two regular fans (a thin radiator however without any fans or two low-profile fans should be ok).

Since you can use CPU coolers up to 180mm in height you shouldn’t have a problem picking even the tallest one around ((just be aware that if you use a large CPU cooler like for example the Thermalright Macho you may need to remove the rear fan).

Even if you decide to use a radiator at the front with push & pull fans you should have no issue mounting even the longest graphics cards inside the Monster II.

The PSU area is not ideal so since there’s not much room between the end of the PSU and the drive cage I strongly recommend using a fully modular one as seen above.
