AMS knew that building the system was not that simple in the case of gBOX so they modified the case design of this e-cube to make it simpler for the people. As with the gBOX, the case sides can be removed by taking out 1 thumb screw allowing simpler access to the sides of the case. The updated design comes into picture while want installing the parts. The handle on the top of the box, is held on with 4 machine screws. By taking off the 2 front screws the entire top of the box can be opened from a hinge on the back.

There’s a metal drive rack over the case. There are 2 tiny screws, 1 on either side that once taken out allows whole rack to slide back and taken out entirely.

After taking out the drive rack, installation of the CPU becomes rather easy. The heat sink integrated in the e-cube is a copper core made using a poor quality and comparatively quiet fan.

The heat sink sleeps easily into the standard P4 mounting slot and is fixed in place firmly by 2 clips.

These clips are a firmly fixed and required a bit of an effort to install. With the heat spreader on a P4 this isn't a big worry. Their nice fitting in the end is a good thing, as with this e-cube being of a compact design if wanting heat sink mounted as much as possible.

AMS has prepared an "xross blade cooling technology" in the rear of the case to deal with the heat generated by the system.

On the left hand side there’s a cooling system placed underneath the added 220w power supply, and on the right hand side where it exhausts the hot air with it's turbine like blades. This is a very clever design that actually does a good job keeping the case cool. Same as the gBOX, removing this unit results in a rapid increase of the internal case temperature. A very good design keeping in mind its size and the room available and the efficiency with which it works. It's not silent, but keeping in mind the job it performs its pretty much acceptable.
