The most prominent part of this case is the two huge, 250mm, side intake fans. These blow directly over the hard drive bays as well as cover a good bit of the motherboard. On my board, DFI LanParty Nforce 4 Ultra D, every major component was covered pretty much.

On the right side of the case are inlet holes directly behind the hard drive bays, this keeps airflow constantly going over them with little need of an outtake fan, and at the top. You can also see the audio, headphone/microphone jacks, the 2 USB ports as well as the single firewire port. This is a very nice feature but is almost expected by todays standards.

The top features a vent for extra heat ventilation although there are no mounting brackets for a fan.

The back is pretty much as you'd expect. The one nice feature is the fan mounting ability. There are mounts for either a 120mm, 92mm or an 80 mm fan. All our compatible.


Please click on thumbnails to get bigger pictures

There's a good amount of room inside the case, it can fit up to a 12in x 13in mobo. You have your usually wires for power/light, hdd activity light, etc. Also seen are the wires for your audio, firewire and USB ports located on the side of the front panel. These all plug directly into your motherboard or sound card.
