I felt like it was a good time to install the rest of my hardware, even though there is no mention in the entire rest of the directions about installing any hardware! I first installed my motherboard, which is a mATX board, so I had no troubles getting it in there. Next was my power supply and the rest of the add-in cards. There was more than enough room inside for me to get everything installed easily.

Once you have everything installed and connected you can go ahead and close up the case. The sides of the case are easily installed by attaching them with 5 screws.

Next before you put the top on the case you want to install the core fan to the core fan panel. I decided I wanted it behind my hard drive so I went ahead and installed it all the way to the left. It can be placed anywhere on the core fan panel. From there just attach it to the top panel and install the top panel on the case.
