Nexus Prominent 5 Case Review

Inside the Nexus Prominent 5

Both panels of the Prominent 5 are fastened to the case using black thumbscrews. Both side panels come with a sheet of foam installed on them, to absorb noise and make the computer quieter.

The motherboard tray has a mesh for cooling the bottom part of the CPU, but there is no hole for you to access the backplate of the CPU cooler without having to remove the motherboard from the case. The motherboard compartment comes with five plastic cable holders for you to organize cables inside the case.

The motherboard tray has one hole for you to route cables behind it and some metallic clips for you to fasten cables using cable ties. The motherboard tray doesn’t touch the disk drive bays, making it easy to route and hide the hard drive cables.
