In the middle of the case’s top there is a flap that covers two usb ports, two minijack connectors for earphones and microphones, and an external serial ATA port. The location of these ports actually turns out to be inconvenient, especially considering how it might be hard to reach, for example, when placed on a desk next an LCD screen.

The side panel is held to the case, as has become very common among case manufacturers, using two thumbscrews along with two sliding latches, one of which can be locked.

There isn’t much to say about the back of the case other than it is organized in the traditional ATX form.

A Look Inside

Internally the case is well divided and organized. On the right side there are four slots for 5.2 inch devices, usually optical drives or fan controllers. Underneath the 5.2 inch slots there are two 3.5 inch bays, usually used for floppy drives or card readers.

Directly infront of the hard drive compartment there is a 140mm brushless fan. The case supports a total of 5 hard drives, and the entire HDD cage is detachable. All edges of the cases’ frame have been tempered to help avoid cuts and scratches during assembly.

There are a total of 7 PCI/PCIe expansion slots in the case. Directly above them is a 120mm fan that is made of a semi-transparent plastic material and comes with a built-in blue LED.

Located in the lower left corner of the cases’ front there is a small switch that is automatically activated when the case is locked. Connecting this switch to the appropriate motherboard jumper and enabling the proper BIOS options, a security feature is activated that doesn’t allow the system to start when the case is open.
