8 SFF PCs: Small, But Not So Quiet
Soltek QBic EQ350I, Continued
The EG359I offers a good deal of room. After the drive retainer is taken out, hardware can be installed from several sides. The additional fan on the side can be dismantled as needed. That affords enough leeway to allow the CPU fan to be latched in. In the case of longer and wider graphics cards, a piece of tape should be applied to isolate the retainer. This prevents a short-circuit on the graphics card.
