At the front of HPTX Tank are 5 x 5.25" drive bay covers. The bottom cover having support for a smaller device such as floppy/card reader to be mounted. We also have a large mesh panel at the front which acts as an intake solution for the 230mm fan on the underside of this panel. I really like the finish of the front panel, it feels robust and it looks great. There is a Cubitek badge at the very bottom of the case.

Moving our attention to the rear of the case, at the bottom we have space to install a PSU. Thumbscrews hold an aluminium plate in place, this can be removed to slide the PSU in from this position. Above this region we have an extensive range of expansion slots, 10 in total - all the covers featuring perforated holes for encouraging better airflow. To the side of this we have 2 rubber grommets for water-cooling. Moving up, we have a grill that covers the rear exhaust fan that is 140mm in specification - because HPTX Tank is wide we are able to house a large fan. At the very top there is another section similar to the PSU plate we saw at the bottom. Here we can mount a reservoir - there are rubber grommets and ventilation, or we can even place the PSU at the top should the top orientation be preferred or a 2-PSU configuration required for quad-GPU.



The front panel has been positioned down the right side of the case rather than in the middle or on the front fascia. The controls here sit inside a section that has been carved out of the case, a nice touch indeed. Here we have a power button, reset button, 2 x USB3.0 ports, headphone and microphone jack and an eSATA port.



Further back, the top of the HPTX Tank features a large pane of mesh. On the underside of this mesh we have 2 x 140mm fans. So you will appreciate the HPTX Tank has some serious air cooling going on. Plenty of large fans to push air in and out of the case. A little later we will test how effective these fans really are.
