Sunbeamtech Silent Storm ATX Case
January 13, 2006

Installation:

Now it's time to do the actual install of the motherboard and other components. All the edges are rolled and smoothed down; the exception is the edges of where the metal is rolled. They are a little sharp, but they are not sharp enough to cut you. For a mid-tower case, installation was a breeze. To install the 5.25 drives, you slide them into the front of the case, then slide the tool-less brackets into place. I did have an issue with a Cooler Master CoolDive IV bay device, as it is just a little wider than the standard 5.25 drive, and would not fit into the drive bay. I did not have an issue installing either of my DVD burners, or DVD ROM, even my removable hard drive chassis slide right into place.


For the hard drive, once I snapped the tool-less brackets into place, the drive easily slid into the drive cage and snapped into place. Again, there are no issues here and the design provides the ability to perform a quick drive change if you need to. Here you can see what the case looks like after everything is installed and ready to go. Cable management is a little difficult as there is not a significant amount of extra room for the excess cables. For this case that is not really an issue because the side panel is solid, and not meant to be seen.

Once I'm sure everything is up and running, it's time to install the core fan bracket. One screw at the top, and two screws at the bottom do this. As you can see here, the fan is directly above my RAM, and is configured to push air across the CPU into the exhaust 120mm fan.

Here is the final view of the case looking through the two holes on the side panel. As you can see, not much is visible; you can barely make out the CPU cooler, as well as the SLI setup.
