After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain.  I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain.  If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration. 

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

    Case Interior

    Now while the location of the internals is pretty typical it should be noted that everything inside the case is positioned away from any of the side panels. This helps with internal case cooling but also provides the casemodder with enough room to install just about whatever they want without concern over available clearances. Window kits and 25mm thick fans shouldn't be any problem to install, actually the only area that becomes tight in terms of clearance is right behind the motherboard tray, which is not removable.
    I know that some of you may be looking at installing a watercooling kit into this, or some similar, case and want to know if there will be enough room. The short answer to the question is, yes. There is plenty of room for a typical watercooling kit, though keep in mind that your kit may or may not be "typical". For instance, a dual 120mm radiator will be a challenge to install, and getting components to fit without removing the lower HDD rack can be difficult, but not impossible.

    My recommendation would be to remove the lower HDD rack and place your radiator and pump in that location. Some prefer to place the radiator outside the case, while this gives you more space on the inside it also opens the door to potential radiator damage.
