![]() My worst noise situations are: 1) On boot the AIO whines a bit as it is powering up. I have 2 fans in my AIO, my 2 m.2's each have a heatsink and mini fan hooked up to the mobo as a case fan, and I have the 3 fans in my GPU. I am currently using an open air case - though not as open. While a GPU slightly wider than two slots will fit, airflow clearance below the GPU will be obstructed Not recommended, no provision for radiator mounting is includedĪs an open chassis, length and height of most components is not limited, however the Motif Monument is generally an ITX-sized chassis Yuel Beast Motif Monument Specifications Color Many boards, though perhaps not many ITX boards have included these functions on the board as well.įinally, though at additional cost and wiring complexity, any of the above may be added if needed. With the motherboard exposed, the pins representing power and reset are accessible, and either power on/off or system reset can be triggered by bridging the pins with any conductive metal. On balance, with minimalism as a goal, even the included power button is a convenience. Other common front-panel headers such as power indicator, reset, or HDD activity are unrepresented, and there’s no front I/O such as USB ports or audio to be found. Screws, adhesive cable clips, and the power button assembly are placed in a bag.Īnd in terms of functionality, aside from being a ‘frame’ to which an ITX system may be mounted, that power button is it. The Motif Monument is delivered with its rear panel separate from the main chassis and with the motherboard and rear panel standoffs installed. For tinkerers, there’s also the added bonus of easy access to components, and for our future ITX case reviews, this will make Yuel Beast’s Motif Monument the home for the Mini Case Review Rig. However, having all parts exposed does provide the benefit of needing fewer overall fans as there are no ‘case’ fans involved. Depending on the components chosen, noise reduction and ducted airflow may not be real concerns, but the lack of filtering will impose the need for more frequent deep cleaning versus an enclosure with positive airflow pressure and proper filters. Dust, obviously, is going to be a primary concern as well.Īfter protection, cases also provide a measure of noise reduction, airflow ducting, and when included dust filtering. Fans that would otherwise be protected from curious fingers are within reach and power leads that, while posing no real risk of shock, could definitely cause problems if pulled out of their receptacles. The main limitation we see is that being open, all of the parts are exposed. Whether it’s a sight to behold is up to the viewer, of course, and the open chassis approach does have its limitations. By arranging components in what otherwise would be a typical tower configuration, Yuel Beast has created a work of art. But overall, the Yuel Beast Motif Monument is just that – a monument. What’s the point of a case that isn’t a “case”?Īnd possibly to be cool with unrestricted airflow. The Motif Monument has an MSRP of US$199 and was ordered directly from Yuel Beast. Construction is 3/16” steel, cut and bent into the final frame as one piece with a second 3/16” steel plate that mounts behind the motherboard. The Motif Monument is designed to be as much of an artistic piece as a functional desktop system and is currently available in black, however, our sample comes in white. Introducing the Yuel Beast Motif Monument, an open-air small form factor ITX chassis, which is the first ITX “case” that we’re reviewing here at The FPS Review. Yuel Beast Motif Monument Temp and Noise Tests.Yuel Beast Motif Monument Specifications.What’s the point of a case that isn’t a “case”?.Perhaps this is just what the one who suppressed the Overlord of the Vortex has been hoping to witness in the millennia since. ![]() Fear of such horrors gradually subsided over the years as peace became the norm.īut no matter: though That Which Lies In The Deep awakens once more, it is powerless to prevent the dawning of a new era. There once was a time when the inhabitants of this land were terrorized by waves as tall as mountains, torn from their dreams in the dead of night by the deafening roar of tidal waves that would shake the world to its core. In the ancient past, it was used to pin the great beast down. Some kind of fragment recovered after defeating the Overlord of the Vortex in battle. ![]() Turning Point Monolith Fragment is a Quest Item obtained after completing the Archon Quest Chapter I: Act III - A New Star Approaches quest " Turning Point".
