From the back...

There is nothing out of the ordinary at the back of the Fatal1ty FC-ZE1, with the usual ATX layout accompanied by a rear exhaust fan. The 120mm fan that’s fitted has a simple chrome fan guard secured in place with four rubber-dampened screws.

The PSU mounting on the back is a fairly standard affair but a little disappointing.

It would have been better to have a removable plate for the PSU here due to the door on the Fatal1ty FC-ZE1; the main reason being the lack of internal support for the PSU itself.

The only support point for the PSU is the back of the chassis, so fitting it requires you to hold the PSU in place with your hand and screw the unit in at the same time, which would have been fairly easy but the door keeps getting in the way!
