Installation is quite simple, as with most PC cases, so we will only cover the important parts here.
After screwing the motherboard and Power Supply in place and installing the VGA card, we next mount the HDDs.

Installation of the Hard Discs is tool-free. the only thing we had to do was to apply a plastic lock on the side of the HDD bay and turn the green switch to lock it into position.

Installation of 5.25" devices is also tool-free, thanks to the sliding guide-rail design.

Other than that, the rest of the installation process is straightforward and in most cases tool-free. As we mentioned previously in this review, the HDD layout is not the best and longer PCI cards such as SLI VGA cards can make things quite cramped.

Well, that's about it. We managed to assemble our PC in less than an hour, all parts included and we had it up and working in no time. A really enjoyable task since the tool-free strategy is adhered too for almost all components in this case.
