Removable top bezel and cable guides with cable straps make for easy installation and cable management

Optional front and bottom nylon filters included, allowing the user to prioritize between dust filtering or even higher airflow Storage support is good with the Torrent, as it offers dedicated mounts for 4x 2.5-inch drives and 2x 3.5-inch drives behind the system. The layout is a little different, however, at least for 3.5 inch drives. Two sturdy steel drive trays with vibration-damping rubber grommets cushion 3.5” hard drives for smooth, quiet and reliable operation Two sturdy steel drive trays with vibration-damping rubber grommets for smooth, quiet and reliable operation Streamlined open interior provides plenty of breathing room for components and maximizes performance potential for both air and water coolingDual recessed channels in the base for adding LED strips and under-lighting effects (both available separately) New layout with expansive base intakes and extra-large bottom fan support offers exceptional GPU cooling

Built to maximize cooling potential straight out of the box, the Torrent comes with a brand-new component layout and two custom-made 180 x 38 mm Dynamic PWM / Prisma RGB fans. The Torrent is a perfect fit for anyone serious about high-end cooling – with or without a custom water loop. While it makes sense to embrace airflow for your components, there would traditionally have been a noise penalty. This just isn’t as high as it once was. I like to live in the past, so let’s think of the sound emanating from your system in the 2000s! But we no longer use 80 mm CPU coolers with 5000 RPM fans, blower-style GPU coolers have become uncommon, SSDs are silent, and HDDs produced today spin in virtual silence. Again, why do we need solid front panels? Air. We need it, our components need it, and for some time the industry’s fascination with solid front panels has impeded this basic need (for components, not humans). But there have been exceptions, with a number of open-front – often marketed as “high airflow” – designs introduced from major players in recent years. The installation and cable management is made easy by removable top bezel, cable guides and cable straps. Optional front and bottom nylon filters included, allowing the user to prioritize between dust filtering or even higher airflow. Between the triple bottom intake pushing air through our RTX 3080 Ti and the two massive 180 mm front intake fans helping push away heat from the GPU and our test system’s i9-11900K CPU, load temps were almost identical compared to the same components on the open test bench. I am going to call this enclosure design a success, and I particularly like the look of the front panel. I wish there was a more elegant solution to a tangle of fan PWM and RGB cables, and that the hub was closer to the motherboard, but these are pretty minor complaints.
