Text of the manual
Thank You for your interest in Sentry PC case. We hope you will enjoy using our product.
Sentry is a product directed to the tech-savvy customers and as such requires prior knowledge
and understanding of its principles, even before ordering parts for a computer assembled in it.
Sentry targets ATX (mITX/SFX) and PCI-E compliant components for their attainability, however not all
components (especially GPU’s) on the market follow the ATX and PCI-E specifications mechanical
references, making it impossible to fit all of them inside such small form factor chassis.
Please read the following instructions before your first attempt to build inside Sentry. If you are missing
any parts or have other issues with the case, please contact us at [email protected].

the body outline this violating the sfx form factor
reference, please rotate the grill facing inward.
Make sure that grill logo plate doesn’t touch the fan,

Connect modular cables before mounting the power supply
Dedicated screws should be bundled with SFX power supply (M3 or M3.5)
Riser is held tightly by its plastic slot
body rather than screwing the PCB
to the chassis. This way delicate
connection between the slot and the
pcb is safe even when mounting big
and heavy open air cooled cards.
Screws are used to tighten the grasp
of metal on the riser’s pci slot body
and do not go through the holes in
the pcb but lock its movement in
front of it. This way multiple models
of riser may be used regardless of
the screw location.
You may need to apply some
pressure on the bottom part of riser
holding slot to acheive clearance
required to slide the riser in.

Vertical stand installation
26
Align the vertical stand with side of the case – small holes in the stand
have to be aligned with screws on this side of case below locking holes.
Those screws need to go inside the holes for both surfaces to adjoin.
Slide locking screws to the right to align them with corresponding holes
Put vertical stand against the case pushing locking screws through holes
Slide locking screws to the left to fasten the vertical stand.
Case may be wall mounted or installed
under the desk in a fixed position
BEFORE assembling the computer.
You will need to use proper distances
and screws appropriate for the material
of your wall or desk.
Make sure to insulate head of the screw
under the motherboard to prevent short
circuiting the board pin underneath.
Be carefull when attaching the case to
drywall or chipboard – those materials
may not sustain the weight of whole
computer.
