My Lian Li card reader was the first item to be installed. To do this i used the supplied 3.5" - 5.25" adapter. The reader fit nicely and was ready to go in the case. I screwed the supplied guide screws to the adapter and slid the assembly into the case.



Once in place you simply use some supplied thumbscrews to secure them properly. Very effective and very impressive.



The optical drive installs in the very same way - slide in and secure with thumb screws.

I decided to install the motherboard next. I undid the thumbscrews, extracted the motherboard tray and added the supplied standoffs to it. This was a job made simpler by the additional tool the Lian Li supply. Much like a watchmakers screw driver with a modified head it allowed me to quickly and accurately add them to the tray. Once i had all eight screwed into the tray i placed the motherboard on top and secured it in place. The tray and motherboard was slid back in, secured and all the header cabling was plugged in place. Extraction to reinstallation took no more than 10 minutes. Quick really doesn't do it justice.




Next up was the PSU - despite the model being a modular design i had no problems getting the unit in place. You may be limited with some of the larger PSU's on the market, but since those are aimed at ultra high power users with a few GPU's, watercooling and several HDD's on the go i'd be surprised if anyone using this case would ever be needing that kind of power.



Finally came the HDD. As you can see the supplied anti vibration mounts are easy to screw in place. Once this is done the drive can simply be slid into place within the HDD bay behind the 80mm fan.



I must admit that for a relatively compact case the installation was made very easy by the thoughtful design.
