The case is assembled using special angled retentions:

To access the internals of the box, you have to remove the handles and unfasten the top angles – a mere 16 screws. The top panel removed, we can see that there’s quite a lot of free space inside:

There is an ordinary heatsink for a 120mm fan from Thermaltake at the front – similar to the fan employed in Bigwater and Bigwater SE.

In the corners at the back there is an expansion tank…

…and a pump:

The pump is the same as employed in the Bigwater SE. The middle of the box is free space. As a matter of fact, the Tribe is an ordinary Bigwater with a small expansion tank and a fan with LED-based highlighting, all in a big external box. The system is now easier to deal with. For example, it is incredibly easy to fill the system up – just pour the liquid from the bottle into the tank and pump it up, and then repeat the same steps until the system is filled to the full. I just don’t understand what that filling bottle is included for – it is not necessary at all here.

So the Tribe kit can be recommended to users who don’t mind the cooling system to occupy some more space in the room. The system is easy to install and fill up, and you don’t have to clutter your PC case with the radiator. The Tribe may also be interesting for modders because it is much easier to replace something in an external spacious container than in a system case. Components of larger sizes can be used, too.
