The front part of the novelty is made of brushed aluminum with a thickness of 2 mm. The sides of the case are equipped with 4 mm thick tempered glass panels. The exterior is completed with cantaloupe cowhide leather. On the left side of the case on the leather trim, you can note the presence of an embossed Geometric Future logo.
Since the front of the case is completely closed, the manufacturer has revised the access scheme for fresh access inside the Model 8 Cowboy. The back of the case is a one-piece perforated panel, and the bottom of the case is almost completely open, except for a few spacers in places designed to install cooling fans. Unfortunately, the company saved on dust filters, so if necessary, you will have to buy them yourself. Luckily, there are plenty of options on the market right now to help you choose the right size.
The installation of the motherboard into the case is carried out according to an unusual scheme – the installation site is rotated 90 degrees, so all the interfaces on the back panel of the motherboard are directed by the top of the Model 8 Cowboy. The novelty has seven holes for expansion slots. The upper part of the case is equipped with a removable perforated cover. All necessary cables can be routed through two small openings provided at the rear of the case.
Model 8 Cowboy body dimensions are 500 × 230 × 500 mm. It is suitable for installing Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards. Inside there is enough space for installing graphics cards up to 400 mm long, as well as CPU coolers up to 170 mm high. In the upper part, there are seats for two 120 mm fans, in the rear part, you can install three 120 mm or three 140 mm “turntables”, or a coolant radiator up to 420 mm long and 55 mm thick. In the lower part of the case there are also places for three 120/140 mm fans or for coolant radiators up to 420 mm long and up to 65 mm thick.
The case offers six combo slots for installing 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives.
The front panel of the novelty has two USB 2.0 Type-A connectors, two USB 3.0 Type-A, one USB 3.1 Gen.2 Type-C, and a pair of 3.5 mm audio jacks.
The manufacturer priced the Model 8 Cowboy case at regarding $140.
