Xigmatek Eris (Where's the PSU?)

[bmyton]

Hey [H],

Has anyone taken a look at Xigmatek's new case?

The specs are pretty impressive:

14.4 L Volume
300mm GPU
ATX PSU
5.25 Optical (OR) 240mm Top Mount

I'm just curious how they are mounting the PSU given the dimensions. Is it laying flat against the front of the case? I don't think it could be vertical in the front since it would probably hit the ODD mounts.

Either way, I'd love to see some additional pictures (the manual really doesn't show much).

The very very poor user guide on their webpage seems to indicate it goes in the bottom front taking in air from the bottom and exhausting it out the front.

Looks like a basic build log here (warning, arm your ad-blockers, prepare for animated gifs).

Great find on that build log. It looks like they put the bottom panel on the top of the case when they put it back together after the build (note the fan vents don't line up with the ODD bay.

On the positives, the custom length 24pin cable would be SO CUTE! (only need about 2" of wire). It looks like there should also be enough height for a 60mm 240 radiator in the top of the case once you take out the ODD bay.

On the negatives, I have no idea how you would get past the huge side rails to work in that thing. Plus, the lack of HDD mounts.
