Introduction to Assembling Your Case
It’s not rocket science, but our cases can be a little challenging to assemble at first because of the non traditional design and the materials used. Passive cooled cases
have an added layer of complexity because of the heatpipe assembly/hardware requirements, so please take the time to read the user guide and become familiar
with the components and assembly procedure. Additional information is also available on our website ‘system build guide’ page, and of course from our support
staff.
Below is a quick explanation of the different screws used in the assembly, and how they will be referred to throughout the guide. Screws are defined by head type,
e.g. ‘countersunk’ and by thread/size e.g. M3x5, and will be labeled with all that information, e.g. CS-M3x5

Removing the Top Panel
The top panel is locked in place by 2 thumbscrews which are located on
the back panel of the case. To remove the top panel, simply rotate both
thumbscrews in a right-to-left direction until you can feel the top panel is
no longer secured (approx 4-5 turns). The top panel will now be slightly
raised and can be lifted up and back away from the front of the case.
Remove the Upper Fan Brackets
The upper fan brackets come pre-installed in the case and should be
removed prior to fitting the hardware as this will allow for easier access
when installing components.
The brackets area held in place by 4 screws, 2 per bracket, located either
side on the front and back panels.

Remove the Universal Brackets
The case comes pre-installed with the universal brackets for shipping, and
should be removed prior to installing any hardware.
To remove the universal brackets, simply push the retention clips down so
that they snap out of the locking position. The brackets will now be free to
move and can be removed from the case.
Install the PSU
We recommend starting the build by installing the ATX PSU. This secures
directly to the rear panel from the outside using the 4 screws supplied.
The orientation of the PSU can be reversed allowing the fan to be facing
inward or outwards depending on the preference for airflow.
Thanks to the open design of the case, the PSU depth can be up to
320mm, but using oversized PSU’s will also limit the number of drives or
fans that can be fitted to the right side panel.

Installing the I/O Shield
Locate the I/O shield supplied with your motherboard and firmly push it in
place. Ensure that it correctly seated otherwise the motherboard will be
difficult to install and may not align correctly with the stand-offs.
Preparation for Fitting the Motherboard
The F12C can accommodate an ATX, Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX
motherboard and depending on which one is used, the appropriate
stand-offs should be fitted to the bottom panel of the case. Note that the
Mini-ITX stand-offs are already fitted to the case as they are common to all
motherboards.
The size of motherboard used will also determine the choice of other
components such as the number of 3.5" hard drives or side panel water
cooling radiators.
Check your motherboard hole locations and fit the appropriate stand-offs
in the corresponding position on the bottom panel. The stand-offs can be
hand tightened into place.

Installing the Motherboard
Carefully lower the motherboard into the case, with the I/O port side
leading so that the ports can fit into the I/O shield.
When the motherboard is correctly in position, secure it to the case
stand-offs using the screws provided. Ensure that all the holes correctly
align before fully tightening the screws.
Depending on the type of CPU cooler you are using, you may have to fit a
retention plate to the under side of the motherboard. This MUST be
done before fitting the motherboard to the case. You can also install the
CPU cooler before or after fitting the motherboard, depending on its size
and convenience when installing other components.
The only connection that needs to be made to the case is the power
button and LED. Power switch polarity is not important, but the LED light
must be connected with correct polarity for it to function. Please consult
you motherboard user guide for which header pins are used for these.

Introduction to the Universal Brackets
The F12C introduces a novel approach to mounting hardware inside the
case, and we call it the universal bracket, which allows virtually anything to
be mounted along both sides of the case.
The system comprises of 2 parts, the bracket and retention clip. The
bracket has pre-defined holes for 3.5" drives and a slot along the middle
which can be used for all drives, fans and virtually any other hardware
which is designed for mounting inside a PC.
The retention clip secures the bracket against the side panel and its shape
and material is designed to apply a constant force against the bracket,
ensuring it does not move.
The universal bracket can be fitted anywhere along the side panel, and combined with the bracket slot, means hardware can be mounted at virtually any position
and orientation inside the case, making it the most flexible PC hardware mounting solution ever designed.

Before installing drives or fans into the case, they need to be secured to the universal bracket(s) as shown below. Screws are provided for standard
hardware, and should be used in combination with washers when using the center slot of the universal bracket. 3.5" drives have dedicated holes for vertical
mounting, all other fans, drives and orientations use the center slot.
Installing Drives & Cooling
Drives and fans can be mounted with many different configurations and orientations. No longer are you limited to a designated drive bay or fan mounting position.
You can fully customize where and how a drive or fan is placed inside the case. Below are some examples of the different configurations.

Installing Drives & Cooling
With the drive(s) (or fans) attached to the universal bracket(s), position the
bracket(s) into the case making sure that the lower edge slots into the lip at
the bottom of the side panel.
It is important to ensure the universal bracket is properly inserted into the
lower lip to ensure it does not slip out.
Whilst ensuring the bracket remains in the lower lip, straighten its
orientation so that it is vertical and rests firmly against the upper silicon
strip on the side panel. Finally, secure the bracket(s) in place using the
retention clip by forcing it between the upper edge of the universal
bracket and the upper lip of the side panel. Check the final position of
the retention clip is correct as shown in the diagram.
It is important that the clip is correctly positioned otherwise the
universal bracket could come loose.
