Installation of the components into the case was straightforward.  I didn’t want to use any custom water-cooling loops in this build.  I did use an AIO cooling CPU cooling loop to show that radiator could be mounted vertically on the back/inside of the case.

By default, the PCI cage comes mounted horizontally for installations of PCI components.  It is possible to rotate the PCI cage so that you can mount expansion cards vertically.  To mount GPUs vertically you would need to purchase a PCI cable extender.  The Core P6 TG does not come with PCI cable extender.

The cable management Core P6 TG had no difficulties for me.  As you can see the back of the motherboard tray has plenty of space to route any cable to the motherboard and radiator fans.
