Introduction to Assembling Your Case
It’s not rocket science, but our cases can be slightly more challenging to assemble compared with traditional mass production optimized PC cases because of the
focus on design and materials used. Passive cooled cases have an added layer of complexity because of the heat pipe assembly and hardware requirements, so
please take the time to read the user guide and become familiar with the assembly procedure. Additional information and help is also available on our website in the
‘system build guide’ or by contacting our support team.
This user guide applies to both the FC8 and FC8 OPTICAL versions of the case as the majority of the build is identical except for the drives and their fitting.
Several different screws will be utilized in the assembly so the user guide indicates which screws should be used and their corresponding fixing location. Screws are
defined by head type, e.g. ‘Philips countersunk’ and by thread and length e.g. ‘M3x6’, and will be labeled accordingly, e.g. PCS-M3x6. Two screw head types are
used throughout the case, HEX 2.5mm which we provide an allen key for and Philips which if you don't have, you really should go out and buy one.
