It is the computer case in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:ATX" class="extiw" title="w:en:ATX">ATX</a> format of a 2018 computer with all of its components, its vocation is the development of software within silence of operation. In order to have an optimal air circulation while having a minimum noise, the two fans (one of 14cm in front and one of 12cm at the back), delivered with the case, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Be_quiet!" class="extiw" title="w:en:Be quiet!">be quiet!</a> BG021, were removed, only remains the 14cm fan of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fr:Computer_cooling" class="extiw" title="w:fr:Computer cooling">CPU cooler</a>, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Thermalright" class="extiw" title="w:en:Thermalright">Thermalright</a> The Grand Macho RT. This cooler is positioned at the top left in the case, over the processor, an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:AMD" class="extiw" title="w:en:AMD">AMD</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Ryzen" class="extiw" title="w:en:Ryzen">Ryzen</a> 7 1700 with 8 physical cores at 3 GHz here overclocked at 3.2 GHz. It is a cubic block of nearly a kilo with multiple fins to dissipate heat, with a speed of rotation between 300 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:rpm" class="extiw" title="w:en:rpm">rpm</a> and 1300 rpm dissipation capacity is 95W. It is attached to the motherboard via a bracket on either side with 4 screws, its size makes unusable a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:PCI_Express" class="extiw" title="w:en:PCI Express">PCI Express</a> x1 port, not visible here. To the right of the fan are 4 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:DDR4_SDRAM" class="extiw" title="w:en:DDR4 SDRAM">DDR4</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fr:Corsair_Components" class="extiw" title="w:fr:Corsair Components">Corsair</a> CMK16GX4M2A2666C16 Vengeance LPX, 2666 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Transfer_(computing)" class="extiw" title="w:en:Transfer (computing)">MT/s</a>, non low profile and 8 GB each. They are of the same reference, with identical capacities and frequencies and of the same brand. This homogeneity allows <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Multi-channel_memory_architecture" class="extiw" title="w:en:Multi-channel memory architecture">dual channel</a> operation with double memory addressing. At the top right of the case we can distinguish the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Blu-ray" class="extiw" title="w:en:Blu-ray">Blu-ray</a> reader-writer, it occupies the top location of 5.25 inches, the one underneath remaining free. Under the cooler is placed the graphics card, an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Micro-Star_International" class="extiw" title="w:en:Micro-Star International">MSI</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:GeForce_10_series#GeForce_10_(10xx)_series" class="extiw" title="w:en:GeForce 10 series">GeForce GT 1030</a> 2GH LP OC with 2 GB of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:DDR5_SDRAM" class="extiw" title="w:en:DDR5 SDRAM">DDR5</a> at 3 GHz, its GPU frequency dynamically varies between 1265 MHz and 1518 MHz. It has passive cooling and provides 2 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:UHD" class="extiw" title="w:en:UHD">UHD</a> outputs at 60Hz, one in HDMI and the other in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:DisplayPort" class="extiw" title="w:en:DisplayPort">DisplayPort</a>. On the right we have the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:List_of_AMD_chipsets#AM4_Chipsets" class="extiw" title="w:en:List of AMD chipsets">AMD X370</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:chipset" class="extiw" title="w:en:chipset">chipset</a> under a heat sink. The case came with 3 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Drive_bay#2.5%E2%80%B3" class="extiw" title="w:en:Drive bay">2.5-inch bays</a>, to the right of the chipset, which were removed as unused and to allow better air circulation. In the bottom slot we find the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Gigabyte_Technology" class="extiw" title="w:en:Gigabyte Technology">Gigabyte</a> GC-WB867D-I <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en" class="extiw" title="w:en">Wi-Fi</a>/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Bluetooth" class="extiw" title="w:en:Bluetooth">Bluetooth</a> card, it requires a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:USB" class="extiw" title="w:en:USB">USB</a> connection where a cable connecting it to a USB 2.0 slot on the motherboard, so as not to lose USB port she integrates one.
