Chenbro Xpider II

Motherboard Tray

One feature that is slowly becoming standardized in many cases is a removable motherboard tray. It makes replacing motherboards and add-on cards much easier when the components that you want to work with can be taken out of the rest of the chassis.

We were disappointed to see the lack of a removable tray with the Xpider II being a gaming chassis. Most gamers like to swap out their old outdated hardware for the latest in technology to keep up with the latest in games, and a removable tray would have been a big hit with them.

The tray does have plenty of machined holes to mount various types of boards, though this is mainly an ATX case. And the Xpider II makes use of snap-on stand-offs to mount the motherboard. Again, screws are required, and are provided, but we would like to see Chenbro move to a more tool-free design with its products.
