Game Max Spectrum RGB Tempered Glass Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Interior

With the side panel removed, you’ll find a pretty spacious interior. There’s a massive cut-out behind the motherboard, which will help with CPU cooler installations. Furthermore, there are seven rubber grommets to help deal with cable management. Of course, there are a few more holes above and below the motherboard for minor cables to be routed too.

Up in the top, a raised section provides room for additional fans to be installed. Perhaps a slim radiator will work too, but remember to measure twice on your motherboards clearances.

The expansion slots each come with reusable ventilated covers, which is always a good sign.

The PSU mounting area provides plenty of room for larger units, as well as anti-vibration mountings.

Drive Mounts

The main grommets look quite small but are just a bit bigger than a 24-pin cable, so should work just fine for most tasks. There are two vertical 2.5″ drive mounts too, allowing you to show off your storage devices. Furthermore, you can screw a 2.5″ drive directly to the lower section, giving you three drive mounts this side of the chassis.

The storage options continue around the back too, with a pair of 3.5″ drive mounts in the bottom, as well as another 2.5″ mount located behind the motherboard.

There’s quite a lot going on back here, with cables everywhere. However, most of them hook up to the built-in fan and RGB controller. What’s weird is that there are three small 2-pin cables hanging around too, they’re not needed, they’re the old RGB connect wires from the fans and Gamemax never bothered to remove them. That’s fine, but a little confusing for those (like me) who thought I needed to connect them somewhere.

With tempered glass panels all around, cable routing should be good, and there is plenty of space behind the chassis. However, it’s all full! We’ve got drive mounts in the bottom, fans hubs, and more.

Getting cables in here will mean getting creative. For example, I’ll be using the 3.5″ drive bays to store excess cables, hardly ideal though.

Front Panel

Behind the front panel, more signs that this was a different chassis and they’ve bolted new bits on it. There are two 5.25″ drive bay panels cut into it. Of course, they’re not functional, and this isn’t an uncommon practice. However, with so much glass, it’s blatantly obvious that they’ve cut corners here, which is a real shame.

The fans look great and offer ring RGB lighting with multiple effects. They all sync up through the included hub too, so I’m eager to see those in action.
