Aluminum housing for custom loops

Heat exchangers and fans are all attached to removable brackets in the housing. There is space for three 120 mm or 140 mm fans or one 360 mm or one 420 mm radiator in the lid and/or on the base. The “show case” is designed for motherboards in the E-ATX, ATX and Micro-ATX form factors and has a total of eight expansion slots.
The EK Quantum In Win 977EK is designed for EKWB’s own S-series Quantum radiators, but can also be operated with B-series heat exchangers and other brands. However, the manufacturer notes that in such cases a certain amount of manual skills are required, while the assembly of the recommended S series should be particularly easy to implement. The start button on both models has A-RGB lighting.
The mainboard tray, which can also be rotated by 90 degrees, as well as all of the housing’s brackets are particularly easy to dismantle and pull out, while the numerous different positioning options for fans and radiators leave plenty of scope for personal setups.
