Nexus Clodius case has matte black exterior. Both sides of the case are easy to remove, connected only with two thumb screws each. There is one large mesh panel on the top of the case, and two in the both sides of the case. There are is also a mesh panel in the bottom of the case, but I'll get to that later on.

On the front side of the case you can notice the combined power button with fan controller. When you turn the button in clockwise direction, fans get more voltage in order to run on higher rpm. When you turn it counterclockwise, the result is opposite. Frontal connectors are found behind a small door in the middle of the front of the case. There is nothing suprising there, MIC and Headphone jac with couple of USB ports. There is also space for floppy-disk drive bezel behind the door.

Upper side of the front is filled with four 5.25” bays. Two of them have integrated DVD-doors in order to make the case more esthetical. However, at least with this unit we have, the doors were a bit stiff with some of the DVD-drives we tested in it. Some of drives worked just fine, and some of them needed a bit help. This is something you definitely need to know when you buy this case. Maybe some modding with the doors could solve the problem.
