MSI Stealth Case Review

Inside the MSI Stealth

Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews. The motherboard tray is painted blue and has a huge hole for you to access the backplate of the CPU cooler without having to remove the motherboard from the case, several holes for you to route cables behind it, and several metallic clips for you to fasten cables using cable ties.

Figure 13 gives you another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened using blue thumbscrews. The MSI Stealth supports video cards up to 12.2” (310 mm) long and comes with a mechanism to hold long video cards and prevent them from getting out of the expansion slots during transportation. See Figure 14.

As already explained, the power supply is installed at the bottom of the case. Note that it can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it. As already shown, there is an air f
ilter for the power supply fan.

The MSI Stealth supports the installation of one 120 mm fan on the bottom panel. With this fan installed, you can install power supplies up to 180 mm deep. There is an air filter for this optional fan.
