Introduction & Features

Integrated Liquid Cooling Components

Spectre's design is focused on integration of liquid cooling components. The idea was to create a
streamlined crossover between liquid cooling and cases. To create something extremely user friendly
but also a base for modders to take things to the extreme. To create a substantial cost saving in liquid
cooling components. The key was to cancel out the extremely high production costs of a manifold
with integration. To create the first standardized production manifold.
Spectre has an integrated reservoir, pump top and half of the tube is also built into channels in the
acrylic manifold. It includes a fill and drain port, integrated for ease of use. The integrated cooling
system is designed for any D5 pump, two 360mm x 60mm radiators and can handle all of the most
high-end components on the market. A second traditional loop can also be added for dual loops. A
Singularity Computers Protium D5 Pump Cover is included with the case.

Integrated Cable management

Integrated cable management is another unique and also cost saving feature in Spectre. The cables
run through channels similar to the cooling system. The channels also have removable Acrylic cable
combs which are compatible with 4mm cables and below. The cable layer can be accessed by
removing the rear panel. There are cable channels hidden around the outside of the case for fans,
lighting etc. There is plenty of space in the PSU shroud to hide excess cables so stock cables can be
used or even extensions.
Advanced Manufacturing Techniques & Quality
T his is the first production case ever built using machining for the entire process. The case is entirely
built using a CNC Router, CNC Mill and CNC Lathe. This has never before been done because of the
extremely high costs which comes with such quality. We were able to use integration to cancel out
most of this extra cost. This means access to incredible quality without having to purchase or install
half of the liquid cooling system. Build times are also massively decreased, so far, we are finding build
times are down below half. For modders, this means more time can go into creativity instead of
assembly. The manifold is built from machined layers of cast acrylic sheet of varying thicknesses. The
layers represent different parts of the cooling system and cable management, there are two liquid
layers and two cable layers. The aluminum panels are all CNC machined billet, there is no folding.
There are stainless steel rods which are turned on a lathe which hold the layers together. All of the
fasteners in Spectre are stainless steel. There are no threads in the acrylic except for the larger G1/4"
threads, the rest are all done with stainless steel inserts. In Spectre, we have used gaskets instead of
O-rings for higher reliability. Each manifold is pressure tested during assembly.
