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. ![]()
