Installing kit into the HPTX Tank is, as you would very well imagine, easy. Due to the masses of space organising cables doesn't take long. Of course, clearance compatibility with CPU cooler and GPU is a thing of the past. The HPTX Tank will accommodate anything currently on the market.
This case makes my ATX motherboard look like its M-ATX!
Installation complete, everything very tidy and easy to get inside
Included with HPTX Tank is an accessories kit that includes various screw types that are highlighted within the instructions sheet for easy installation. Included in the accessories kit are some cable extensions and a cable splitter. Cubitek have deviated from the traditional screw in many areas of the case and so have provided an allen key tool for removing some of the screws.
Included accessories
To install a HDD within the HDD cage its quite simple. Place 4 rubber wheels over the screw holes on the drive, making sure that the logo is facing outwards - as this provides a countersunk edge for concealing the screw face. If you put it the other way around the screw head will scratch the inside of the cage. With the rubber wheels attached, the drive will slide right into the cage.
Rubber wheels for attaching to HDD - ant vibration and anti-scratch
Installing a HDD into the cage
CPU cooler and GPU clearance isn't a problem at all with the HPTX Tank. Usually I would include a picture of the CPU cooler clearance but since there was so much space I didn't feel the necessity for this. The Noctua NH-U12P that was installed within the HPTX Tank is 158mm in height, this case will accommodate CPU coolers with a maximum height of 190mm.
As you can see from the photo below, there is plenty of space for even the biggest of graphics cards. Installed here I have the mammoth HD6990 which measures 12" in length. Even if our card did exceed 13/14" in length we could still remove the HDD cage to accommodate this and move the HDDs up to the optical drive bay.
GPU clearance is not a problem. HD 6990 fits in with ease
