The entire back-plate is removed to install all components other than the floor fan. The SFX PSU is installed only by pushing it into place, the dimensions of the wood work fitting exactly without any issues. The PSU is held in place primarily by the clamping force of the wood and later by two thumbscrews for added security.
The EVGA Z170 Stinger is an excellent motherboard and perfect for HTPC applications due to its high Z170 storage performance and four SATA ports.
There is a good air gap between the motherboard and the PSU allowing the PSU fan to move air freely. The back-plate has a lot of ventilation and although the upper and lower compartments aren’t sealed, the two sections have almost independent airflow’s.

The Inkubus 300µ is a range of handmade systems at the high end of the market, why would we review the chassis? Well, Inkubus have stated there will be an opportunity for international customers to purchase the chassis alone on a special occasion, probably in early 2017. You may be able to get your hands on one, but you need to keep track of it and due to their handmade nature, we cannot imagine they will be mass produced, so it's going to be rare and sought after.
