This should definitely keep the majority of dust from getting into your radiator and system, but it also means that if you want to detach the dust filter to clean it, you'll need to remove the right side panel, which seems like unnecessary extra work. There's a bit of space between it and the radiator, to which the netting is directly attached. But the filter isn't immediately behind those holes. The right side panel, made of aluminum, has a series of holes to allow airflow.

There are three dust filters on the case: one on the bottom a magnetic one on the top and one over the radiator for the distribution plate. If you’re trying this to a PC on your own, see our story on how to cut hard tubing for your custom loop. The left side panel is made of glass, and you get a pretty clean design with the hardline tubing. The CPU block can move slightly to the left or right and be re-screwed in, while both blocks can be moved either up or down. In theory, the tubes are bent in a way that can be reused. The water blocks on the iBuypower Element CL Pro are also custom-made, and, in theory, could be adjusted to fit different parts. The hardline tubing connects to custom aluminum blocks on the CPU and GPU, which iBuypower says it used to reduce weight and cost, but that is also a compromise, as copper parts can handle more heat. This plate is attached to a 360mm radiator with three fans that serve as the air intake to the system. Beyond some of the fill and drain holes, the main item you see in the front is a flow integrator that changes speeds depending on how fast the coolant is circulating through the system.

The front panel shows off a distribution plate with a combined pump and reservoir. The front of the desktop features the iBuypower logo, a bit of RGB lighting and a whole lot of nothing.
