An empty case only tells half the story so in this section we install our ATX system within GRone to determine strengths and weaknesses.

The installation process is easy thanks to the tool-less design options and cable management routes available. Notice the huge amount of space at the top of the motherboard, this should serve as a region for accommodating water-cooling without any hassles. The only thing we would have liked to see at the back of the motherboard tray are a series of cable management hooks for neatly arranging cables – this would have allowed for a much tidier arrangement.





To install a HDD inside GRone the 2.5” or 3.5” drive must be placed inside one of the provided trays, for 3.5” drives the four pins slot into the drives mounting holes so you will not need a screwdriver at all, whereas with the 2.5” drive screws must be attached to the underside.

This is a method we have seen many times before and is proven to be good – it means we can get storage inside the case in a short space of time.
