Installation

• Motherboard: MSI 890GXM-G65
• Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 975BE
• CPU-cooler: Noctua NH-D14
• Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6870
• Memory: Corsair XMS3 4x1 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
• PSU: Antec HCP-850 W
• HDD: Samsung F4EG 1500 GB 5400 rpm

When the motherboard tray is removed, the motherboard can be easily mounted to the tray which makes the installation a lot easier and I wish that also other case manufacturers would start making removable motherboard trays like this. It is way too underused feature!

PS07 supports up to 180 mm long power supplies and the power supply we used in this review is Antec HCP-850W which is exactly 180 mm long. It fits nicely to the case and there was even enough space to route the cables through a cable management hole.

Because we are using Noctua NH-D14 as a reference cooler, we were not able to fit the HDD to the HDD cage, so instead we had to install the HDD cage to 5.25” drive bay using the adapter that was provided in the bundle. When the HDD is mounted to 5.25” there really isn’t much space left between the power supply and the hard disk drive.
