Now we will discuss the PSU mounting. The DimasTech Easy V3.0 supports standard PSUs and I already checked that an older ATX PSU from Enermax was sitting there perfectly. However I had some problems with PC P&C 1200W which was popular amongst overclockers some time ago.
As you can see in the attached photos, the mounting holes were not exactly where they should be. If they are slightly larger thenthis would not be a problem. In this case I had to use a file to fix this issue.
After installing the power supply, we can see that there is still a lot of space for good airflow or even a chance to add a fan under the motherboard if we wish to do so. I have seen that AMD/FX overclockers are sometimes trying to cool down the socket area by placing a fan on the back of the motherboard. A lot of space can be also handy while mounting sub-zero cooling solutions.
Now it is time to take a glance and see how the sides look like with additional fans and a radiator.
I have used some quite cheap SuperFlower fans that look good and offer high air pressure. The 360mm radiator comes from Coollink.
Above we can see photo with only fans while below is also radiator. I made myself additional work as I used fans without standard mounting holes but with rubber plugs. As you see I managed to install it and all works great. Also as you see on both photos, the fans are perfectly fitting into the side holes.
There is also one thing that I have to mention. Even though everything seem so perfect then some holes that been cut have that little pin which in some places is sharp or will not allow to install buttons. You can see it on the below photo. Most readers will say that is nothing and yes, I agree if you are looking at the space for the fans but not if it is the place to install the power and reset buttons. One more time I had to use a file to correct it as installing buttons was impossible. On the photo it actually looks smaller than it is in the real world and the place to install buttons was looking worse but I fixed it before I made the photo. I also think that other samples may not have this issue in the power and reset buttons area as all holes near motherboard are perfect.
At the end of this gallery, a couple of photos with the installed motherboard and cooling.
As you see on the below photos, every cable is going through the holes that are designed for it. We will not have any issues with cables taking space above the bench table as additional length can be hidden below the upper shelf. The Easy V3.0 is designed also for larger motherboards than the standard ATX so something like ASUS Rampage IV Extreme in EATX format will also fit there. There should be also enough space for small server motherboards.
There is enough space for benching sessions which is most important for all who are looking for bench/test tables.
One more look at the radiator and space between it and the 5.25″ cage. It is a 35mm thick radiator so even a thicker one can be installed. If there will not be enough space then every drive cage can be moved to other place what gives us many more options.
