CPU cooling
The system build we decided to do with the Seenium case is based upon the top of the line Intel Core 2 system we use for our video card test platform. The Tagan 800W BZ PSU was sufficient to power this system and the HD 4870 X2 video card without issue. Note that with the launch of the Core i7 platform, this isn't the fastest system on the planet anymore. But it is fast enough for almost any user. As the standoffs are already installed, you don't need to do anything but mount the backplate and screw the motherboard in to secure it on the case.

Cable management
Drive installation was easy. Simply slide the rail, lift it up and lock the drive into place. If you feel you need screws to hold it into place while moving the case there are holes in the normal places to facilitate this. Hard disk installation was pretty easy as well. There are five hard drive cages that can be removed from the rack. Insert the HDD into the cage screw in the screws and remount the cage into the rack and you are done. Tagan has the HDDs face the left, making for great cable management. There are also cable organizers on the case to help cable management.
