The system build consists of several components including a modern CPU, a long video card in the HD 3870 x2 card and a large CPU cooler from Thermaltake. Note that the CPU, the motherboard and other components aren't by themselves important to the case, but I wanted to show off an install with a long, heavy video card like the HD 3870.

Installing the motherboard is easy. Simply orient the motherboard in the correct direction, insert the standoffs and mount the motherboard using the included screws. Installing a graphics card is even simpler. Simply remove the PCI slot cover, insert the graphics card and screw it into place. The 3870 x2 had plenty of clearance with room to spare on the case.
