Sentey Optimus Case Review

Inside the Sentey Optimus

Both panels of the Optimus are fastened to the case using black thumbscrews, which is nice to see. The motherboard tray has a big hole around the area where the CPU is installed, allowing access to the backplate of the CPU cooler, so you can replace the cooler without having to remove the motherboard. The motherboard tray also has several holes for you to route cables behind it, and a couple of metallic clips for you to fasten cables using cable ties. The motherboard tray has an opening behind the hard disk drive cage, making it easy to route and hide the hard drive cables.

In Figure 12, you have another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened to the case using individual plastic tool-less mechanisms. The Optimus supports video cards up to 11” (280 mm) long.

Note that the power supply 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 mentioned before, the case comes with an air filter for the power supply fan.

You can install an 80 mm or a 120 mm fan at the bottom of the case, and the same air filter covers this optional fan.
