Looking inside the Ikonik Zaria you can see that there is not
really a great deal of room if your are planning to install a full size
motherboard like we are. At the lower right portion of the case you have a
five disk removable tower, each hard drive can be inserted into the tower using
the tool-free slide-in rails, each of which has rubber pin and mounted disk that
will help eliminate any noise the hard drives might make. The drive cage
can be removed in matter of seconds once you have removed the three thumb-screws
that hold it in place.
With the drive cage out of the way you can see that they have
already added a 120mm fan bearing Ikonik logo. Located directly above the
3.5" removable drive tray are drive bays for the optical drives and these are
also tool-less since all you need to do is insert the drive and latch the
slide, then to remove it simply reverse the step.
I can honestly say I have never seen a latching system like
this to hold the slot covers into place, I have some similar in a few other
cases and in my opinion it works but it is not my favorite means of latching
card in place. I'm old fashion when it comes to how I want to hold my
cards in place and that is to just use a screw, then I know the particular video
card(s) or NIC or sound card will be in place without the fear of it moving.
The rear 120mm fan and the pair of 80mm fans are all
controlled by the SIM (System Intelligent Management) is new innovative thermal
solution. The concept of thermal solution is not new, however SIM brings
something new for PC-enthusiasts. The difference with IKONIK and other existing
solutions is the independency of SIM. Taking into consideration the number of
brands available now days. SIM is compatible with all industries available
platforms
