| Sunbeamtech Tuniq 3 Mid Tower ATX Case
|
Internal Examination (continued):
Here is a look at one of the three included 120mm LED fans. It is labeled as model DF1202512 SELI, and is rated for 0.16A and 12V. Unfortunately I could not find any more detailed specifications on these fans.
The 3D Core-Fan Bracket has many different cooling configurations. The following images show the bracket removed from the case. As shown in the below left image, the 120mm fan on the left can be used in just two positions, but the fan on the right can be used in many more! Since there are so many holes you could probably install any size fan you would like. There are thumbscrews that you can remove and change the angle of the fan as well. In the below right image, you can see the other side of the bracket. This side would be directly over the CPU and expansion cards. There are a few different configurations you could use on this side, too.

The next set of images are from the completed installation of the Sunbeamtech Tuniq 3 Mid Tower ATX case. Most of the installation would be pretty straightforward for anyone who has installed a system into a case within the last few years. The tool free design of the expansion slots and the drive bays makes the installation much easier and quicker. I did run into a few important installation issues though, but they may not necessarily affect everyone using this case.
The 5.25" and external 3.5" bay devices are very easy to install. Remove the metal and plastic covers from the chassis and front bezel, slide your device into an open slot, and slide the plastic clip forward to lock the device in place. Normally I do not like front doors on my cases, but this one is my favorite. I can have the door closed all the way even though I have some bay devices that stick out a little bit. I can also power on or reset the system without opening the front door. However, I still need to be aware to open the door when certain programs auto eject the DVD ROM tray.
