Accessories:
The bundle of accessories includes everything you will need to assemble this system. Screws, standoffs, casters, drive bay adapters, and even an air duct for anyone who happens to be using a BTX motherboard.
I didn't know what the duct was at first, which made me laugh since I was one of a very few people to take an interest in the BTX form factor.
Installation and Operation:
The following components were installed in the Cooler Master CSX Shag Wagon for this review:
» Intel E2180 dual core processor
» Cooler Master Hype Z600 CPU cooler
» ASUS P5K Pro P35 ATX motherboard
» 2GB Aeneon DDR2-1142 dual channel memory kit
» Kingwin KF-4000-BK 4-Bay SATA drive rack
» 4x 250GB Maxtor MaxLine III SATA 3Gbps hard drives
» Cooler Master Real Power Pro 1250W power supply
» ASUS EAH3870 TOP Overclocked Radeon HD3870 graphics card
Despite the oversized nature of many of these components, there was not a single issue with installation. The video card, CPU cooler, and power supply are all larger than normal, but they all fit fine inside the Shag Wagon. The image below shows that the removable motherboard tray is deep enough and tall enough to handle everything installed. I had issues testing the Hyper Z600 in other cases, but it not only fits well here, but will be in close proximity to the 120mm exhaust fan and PSU fan, so that maybe it can be used passively.
