Inside the Ssupd Meshroom S
Opening the Meshroom S is a simple matter of pulling on the side panels. These are held in place by a push-pin system already used on the Meshlicious.
The chassis :
Inside, the chassis is also original, with a card slot positioned above the power supply slot. However, the PSU will be mounted vertically. On the right-hand side of the motherboard tray, we find a large empty space that will accommodate the thickness of a watercooling radiator and its fans.
Otherwise, the motherboard slot remains clear, with plenty of space via which to run cables.
Storage slots :
We continue with the storage slots which, by default, will accommodate up to three 2.5″ units with a full-length graphics card. On the other hand, with a compact card, mounted on the three inverted slots, up to seven 2.5″ SSDs can be fitted.
As far as hard disks are concerned, things are getting tighter, with slots becoming more discreet: 0 with a full-size graphics card, or two with a compact or even ITX card.
In any case, this case has more space than the 2000D Airflow from Corsair, which only allows two or even three 2.5″ units to be fitted, depending on the version.
Power supply location:
In this case, the power supply is installed vertically, at the bottom of the case. As you can see, no anti-vibration device is present. Despite this oversight, the case stands out for its compatibility with power supplies. In fact, if you wish, you can install ATX blocks up to 17 cm deep if only front-mounted fans are used. With a waterccolling radiator, depending on the orientation of the end caps, this depth will be limited from 16 cm to 14 cm. As for SFX/L blocks, there’s no limitation linked to their format, which is very compact for the record.
Cooling options :
Like Corsair’s 2000D Airflow, this Meshroom S arrives without a fan installed. In addition, there are various slots for two 120/140 mm windmills on the front. At the top of the case, a slim (15 mm thick) 120 mm fan can be mounted. On the side, depending on the thickness of the graphics card, it will be possible to install a 25 mm fan or a 15 mm fan if the card exceeds 2.4 slots.
As for watercooling, radiators can be fitted, particularly at the front, where the case will accept 240/280 mm models. On the side, if the graphics card is shifted towards the front of the Meshroom S, it will be possible to install another 240 mm radiator. Yes, there’s plenty to do.
Now, if you want to stick with an air-cooled cpu, that’s possible, but don’t bite off more than you can chew. In fact, the default heatsink height is 73 mm. With a four-slot graphics card, which involves readjusting the motherboard tray, compatibility drops to 53 mm in height.
The bundle:
What do we find in the accessories section?
- Assembly instructions
- Nylon clamps
- Screws and bolts
- Spare clips to hold panels in place
- A gray spacer for readjusting the motherboard tray
- Various steel brackets and angle brackets
- HDMI cable with angled head
The accessory part is complete and will enable the assembly of a configuration. What’s more, the HDMI cable is a welcome addition, as there’s very little space under the graphics card for connecting the connectors.
To sum up:
All in all, the brand offers us an original case that allows the mounting of sometimes imposing components. We’re thinking in particular of four-slot graphics cards… But not without a few concessions. In the same vein, it will also be possible to mount a watercooling radiator of up to 280 mm without breaking a sweat. In short, we’ll just have to see how it turns out on assembly, but it looks promising!
