INTERIOR & ASSEMBLY
The interior of the ISK 100 is very basic with a DC-to-DC power supply on one
end, and a simple hard drive tray beneath the motherboard. The worst thing about
assembly is the very tight spacing. It took us a few tries to figure how to
angle the motherboard into place, and afterwards we struggled to keep cabling
away from the edges of the case and the fan.
The interior. |
The front panel cables were much too long. The power supply had the
cables with the following connectors: 20+4 pin ATX, 4-pin AUX12V, 2x SATA,
1x 4-pin molex. The last is completely unnecessary and just causes more
clutter. |
The ISK 100 supports a pair of 2.5" drives, installed underneath the motherboard. |
We chose an LGA775 motherboard, the Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX, because
its CPU socket is directly under the ISK 100's fan. LGA1156 boards like
the Intel DH57JG (pictured on left) position the processor near the other
edge. |
The case allows a maximum CPU cooler height of only 40 mm, forcing
us to use an Intel stock cooler with the fan removed (35 mm tall). |
As you can see, the fan was positioned almost perfectly above the
heatsink with the hub slightly askew from the copper core of the CPU cooler. |
