A Closer Look


Taking the system out of its box, we find the stunning arctic white Vengeance C70 chassis from Corsair with its side panel revealing some of the key components of the build. The chassis as we know is strong, includes fantastic build quality and in white, simply looks beautiful.

For the hardcore gamers out there who take their systems with them to LAN gaming events, the C70 has the added feature of grab handles making transportation easy and painless.

On the front panel we find the cleverly equipped power and reset buttons, audio jacks and two USB 3.0 ports. Under this is the 24x DVD-RW drive in matching black of course.

Moving around to the rear of the system, we can see that everything matches in really well and the chassis includes lot of airflow due to the many ventilation points. The motherboard I/O panel comes equipped with protective caps on the display connectors to that dust can’t get stuck in the slots and connectors.

Moving in closer to the expansion slots, we find a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi card with antenna connectors and LEDs. Below this is the beast that is the XFX Radeon HD 7990 6GB graphics card with its single DVI port and four mini DisplayPort connectors.

Straight away we can see that DinoPC have gone for a particular colour scheme inside with a black/white/red theme and this all centres around the mammoth graphics card. Behind the components at the forefront, we see one of the latest creations from Gigabyte, with the Z87X-UD4H which is a very interesting board for the Taiwanese company due to its red colour scheme, which is a slightly new venture for them.

DinoPC have done everything they can to make this system look clean and tidy, and therefore cable management is extremely well done and only the relevant connected power cables and leads have been installed while the rest have been hidden.

The fans used come included with the chassis, and while the white matches up nicely with the chassis, I personally feel that the red Corsair fans would have been nicer, keeping the inside black and red while the outer aspects of the chassis can remain white, but this is just my personal feeling towards the build.

Sticking with Corsair, we find two 8GB modules of Vengeance Pro 1866MHz memory which being red match up nicely with the motherboard and XFX 7990 graphics card.

From this view, we can see the optical drive and the spare expansion lanes, as only the top lanes are used by the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module and the Radeon 7990.

The XFX Radeon HD 7990 6GB graphics card includes the reference black and red cooler with a triple fan design that should be more than sufficient to keep this monster under control.

Powering everything is a XFX Pro Series 850W power supply with modular capabilities. The cables that come supplied are flat, giving the best airflow to the system and making cable management a lot easier. You can also see a switch on the PSU that puts it into Hybrid mode to adjust the fan as and when it needs to.

Storage wise, we have a single Plextor M5S 128GB SSD and a Seagate Barracuda 2TB mechanical hard drive, all operating at Sata III 6Gb/s speeds.
