The DINOPC Asusinator 4670K OC ships inside a large box. Inside the larger container is the Fractal Design box, holding the system inside. Our review sample had no accessories, left over cables or motherboard box with manuals.
The Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 chassis is attractive, moderately compact and with a side window panel.
DinoPC have included a bluray player in the system, installed in the top drive bay. Along the top at the front of the case is a row of connectors. There is a power button here, alongside a microphone and headphone port, and two USB 3.0 headers. A fan control switch is closeby, for low/medium and high settings.
The power supply is installed at the bottom of the case. There is a sound card included in the build, just above the GTX770 graphics card. We can see the Corsair cooling fan here, attached to the H60 radiator. The Asus Z87-K motherboard has several USB 3.0 ports, alongside 4 USB 2.0 ports and some video out connectors. DinoPC have covered these up so customers will connect their monitor to the discrete graphics card underneath.
The Fractal Design chassis may be small but there is plenty of room inside for cable routing. This isn't the cleanest routing job we have seen however, as the cables could have been hidden out of view better.
The Plextor Solid State Drive is installed in the drive bay rack, above the 3.5 inch mechanical drive.
DinoPC are using the Corsair H60 2013 all in one liquid cooler. We reviewed this a while ago and it scored well in our tests. If you want to read the full review, head over here.
Another system using the entry level Corsair CX600 power supply. This is a decent little unit, but we would expect to see a slightly higher grade unit from Corsair in a system such as this. We did review the modular version of this power supply in April. You can read the full review over here.
The DinoPC Asusinator 4670K OC may be named after ASUS, but the company are using a PALIT GTX770 graphics card in this system, which seems a slight oversight to us. After all ASUS produce a series of excellent graphics cards with custom Direct CU cooling.
The ASUS Xonar sound card is installed in the slot above the graphics card, as seen in the picture above.
We removed the other side panel to take a closer look at cable routing.
The cables are routed mainly into a central section of the case. Not the tidiest job we have seen, but the side panel reseals easily enough without ‘bulging'.
Average build at best, I could build one much better than this. I dont like the haswell CPU’s either, id rather get the 3770k
The motherboard is excellent, but with the name I agree – id expect an ASUS graphics card in it,. its a GAMING SYSTEM!
Not a bad looking system i do love those cases, but the haswell chips are a waste of time IMO. who the hell cares about integrated graphics on one of these processors? I bet that is what is causing the heat build up.
Nothing much to say on the system, its like 500 other prebuilts out there. the score is too high.
Its not bad, the performance is good, but I just bought a second system for my office from pcspecialist and the cable routing is 50 times better. I dont think I could have done a better job myself
It is in point of fact a nice and helpful piece of info.
