Do you put the straps around the CPU first and then attach it to the frame? Or do you have to attach the straps to the frame first? Easy?

The straps are attached to the frame, so you would put the computer in place, then connect the straps and tighten. Not too hard at all.

Straps come attached to frame. Mount frame, then insert workstation into the two (loose) straps. Snug straps up as necessary. Easy install. I did it solo, a set of helping hands couldn't hurt.

The two top racks get screwed into the desk and the straps hang, then you put the straps together a little larger than your cpu. Then slide in the cpu and tighten the straps

It comes with straps attached to the frame. Yes it is a very easy install. I actually bought two of these. One for my CPU and the other for my battery pack. Easy to adjust to both sizes. Hope that helps.

You have to attach the CPU holder to your frame (or under a table top) first, before you can hang your CPU from the straps. You would never be able to attach the holder to anything with the CPU strapped in as shown in the photo. The photo is just trying to show how a CPU would look when attached to the holder. You have to drill about 8 holes to mount the holder under a table top, desk top, counter top, etc., before hanging the CPU from the straps. Laying the metal parts of the holder parallel on top of the CPU and then measuring from center to center on the screw holes, will let you know how far they need to be apart when you get ready to drill the eight holes. Hope this helps answer your question. You have to attach the CPU holder to your frame (or under a table top) first, before you can hang your CPU from the straps.

How do you open it to add memory? I have had this for about 3 days, and it seems to work well, but my wife complains it is too slow on her farmville mega-ranch :) There is no documentation or anything at the acer site. The owners manual just says to "take out screws", but I only see one visible screw in the bottom. I removed it, but nothing came apart. It seems to be a nice PC, removed all the free-software and it runs everything well so far. It is also so small and quiet.Any help would be appreciated.

You don't really attach it to anything. The end has a loop on it and you thread the lock end around something that is stable. In her dorm she used her desk which was open in the back so she threaded the cable around the desk, then through the loop before locking to your computer. Wish I had a picture, sorry. Since the cable is so long, you could also use a pole or a heavy chair. Anything to make it hard for someone to take your computer.

Yes it is easy to install it. Just transfer smal parts and main board.Thanks.

rig it lol. I have one rigged to the front at the bottom, I bent the metal corners of the black metal screen to hold it.No actual fan slot afaik.I would do intake from the bottom, just use something to screen dust.

If you buy this, and we're very glad we did, look at the last page of the manual where it talks about attaching the anchors. Gotta do this early on after the frame is together or you'll have a tough time later.

I was worried I'd be unable to but after buying a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO (that thing is the size of your head) and installing it, things worked like a charm! Just removed the backplate which was already there and screwed everything in. Dunno about cTDP though. :( Best of luck in your PC ventures!

Just make sure the bar goes the correct direction - the bar must be parallel with how your arms go because the strap Velcros around the bar. Just take a look at the picture and make sure your system has a bar like the one the Velcro goes around. (ie just a straight bar won't work)

1st time putting together make sure all the plastic corners are seated all the way into the connectors. Push hard but not too hard! Also make sure the frame is squared up with all the seems. Hope this helps!

First, you do not want to put them between the cpu and heatsink. Doing that will not allow a solid "connection" with the thermal paste better the two components. That wing said, I placed them underneath the mobo where the cpu is located. Do not tape the probe to mobo. Just use electrical tape on the insulation of the cable at Tape it to the back wall. Beneath the mobo and have the probe angled towards the cpu. It won't be extremely accurate but it will be very close. For the HDD, you can use electrical tape on the insulation and rape it on the Hdd brackets after you've set and locked the HDD in the case. And angle it so the probe rests on the Hdd. As for the system probe. I placed it so the is just sticking inside the case through the holes used for the cable management. Have it placed as centered as possible for the most accurate temperature. The measurements won't be 100% as a digital probe would be (software that reads the hardware sensors). But it'll be close with a +-5 10 deg C.

Make sure zippers are open to allow all the air out. Take the two fans and put them together - bottom to bottom and put them in the bag first. Then start pushing entire screen in. I've done it both by folding up first and by just putting fans in then pushing rest in. It fits pretty well and there is room for the white screen to be put in before zipping up.

I ran into this issue, I laid the bike on the side, connected the computer part and put in the line into the opening below so it had grabbed, pulled on the bar to be connected to the bike and it expanded the wire and fit into place, then I held both put the bike up right and got the bar into position.It does release but you need to a little muscle and can't be afraid about the wire snapping, it does expand though. It's the hardest part of the assembly, the tension bar.

yes its the screen mounted on the middle frame swap your mobo camera and other components over and close it back up done deal

There is a hole in the bottom of its case. I placed it where I wanted it on top of the computer's case, marked the hole's location and bored a corresponding hole in the case - being sure to catch the metal shavings. Then, I bolted it in place. (I ran the drive cables up the back of the computer case where they are exposed and have been knocked loose.)

Nope, slip it into a slot, attach a monitor, boot up the computer and you're good to go.

CPU stays on the table top or under it. only the monitor and key board go on the ergotron. it comes with cable ties to keep the cpu cables looking clean.hope this helps

you apply it to the cpu processor. It goes in between the processor and the cooler to dissipate heat evenly :) I usually use something very flat edged and apply a VERY THIN AND EVEN COAT.
