Whether looked at as a whole, or individually, the Disruptor's components clearly originate from technicians who play games.
Lets look at each part of the Disruptor PC in more depth:
We'd never used an Addtronic case previous to our experience with the GamePC Disruptor and soon after receiving the PC we found ourselves swimming in the large space it provides for components.
Being a full sized ATX tower, the 7890A contains six 5.25" drive bays as well as three 3.5" drive bays. It also contains room for up to four case fans to circulate air through the large case.
