Inside View: A Clear, Well-Organized Layout

A nicely organized internal layout.

When you open the case, the system's clean, well-organized layout is apparent. The copper tubing for the heat pipes over the CPU socket are especially eye-catching. All four heat pipes traverse the cooling fins on the side of the case. The neighboring cooling elements also serve the chipset and the power supply as heat exchangers. Cables are neatly organized with cable ties, and routed carefully around inside the case without spaghetti-wire tangles.

Yuck! Too much heat transfer paste makes the bright copper look like junkyard refuse.

Numerous copper heat pipes convey heat outside the case.

This massive copper block can even handle a 2.2 GHz AMD Athlon X2 4200+.

Even the graphics card is cooled passively.
