o
The reservoir was designed to remove air as quickly as possible making the loop easier to
fill.
o
The fill port is at the highest point at the back of the case and the drain port at the lowest
point.
o
The cable channels and combs are designed for 4mm sleeved cables. They can be clipped in
very quickly and there is far less work to do for clean cable management.
•
High End Components
o
Spectre 3.0 fits XL-ATX motherboards and has 8 expansion slots. It is designed to fit the RTX
3090 Founders Edition even with the stock cooler. It can fit the largest PSUs up to 220mm.
For the cooling system it can fit 2x 360mm radiators 60mm thick with a single set of fans
and the powerful D5 pump.
•
Radiator Adjustment
o
The radiator mounts have a large range of adjustment to help with port alignment to the
distribution plate.
•
Storage
o
Spectre 3.0 has 6x 2.5” Drive positions, 4 of these can be used at the same time. Two are on
the top of the PSU shroud and there are four inside of the PSU shroud. The two on top of the
PSU shroud cannot be used with vertically mounted GPUs.
Design & Engineering
We are all experienced system builders at Singularity Computers. Our approach to product
development begins with a need for our own builds and so the origin is always function. From
there we start to build ideas around this function and the aesthetics and everything else follows.
The original idea for Spectre came from our years of building highly customized, high end water-
cooled systems and trying to reduce the exceptionally long build times and complexity. Our
approach to development is very hands on, we are doing real world testing every day.
The aesthetics of Spectre originate from its function with one of the main aesthetic features (the
lighting) being something only made possible by the integration. We wanted the case to look
skeletal and almost transparent enough to (in a way) disappear around the components. The
metal components have been designed to enhance this with an extreme focus on detailed and
complex multi sided CNC machining.
Manufacturing & Quality
Every component of Spectre is CNC machined from a solid block of material. With the level of
transparency and being an open case, we wanted it to be a celebration of the raw materials. There
is no hidden or back side, and this also goes for the components being installed. Due to this we
selected the most high-end materials manufacturing process. The Distribution Plate is machined
on a CNC router built from thick sheets of cast acrylic. It is hand assembled with silicone gaskets
and stainless-steel fasteners, and pressure tested. The metal components are machined with
Extreme Precision from solid blocks of 6061 aluminum on a CNC mill then sand blasted and
anodized.
