Closer look at the inside of the case

On the back you can mount a fan of desired size, they have made it possible to mount fans all the way from 80 mm to 120 mm. This case is equipped with acoustic foam to prevent excessive noise and sound to come out of it, the foam actually absorbs the sound and makes cases much quieter.

The drives are mounted in their slots without any screws so tools are not needed for this case. The clip system makes mounting very easy and the drives stay safely where they belong. The sides, bottom and top are equipped with the acoustic foam to prevent extensive noise and vibrations. The harddrives are mounted sideways in this case as the harddrive cage is also mounted to the side, most cases need 90 degree angled SATA connectors for this type of cases but I had no issues with a normal one if I bent it a bit although I recommend an angled one. 

All corners are rounded so you won't cut your hand when installing parts, you know how annoying it is to to do this if you build computers as your profession.

The acoustic foam is perfectly aligned around the harddrive cage and fan. There is also a fan mounted in the front to take in fresh cool air into the case. The fans overall are pretty ok noise wise but I would personally end up swapping to Noctua or Arctic Cooling fans but I am quite picky when it comes to noise.

Even the top of the case is equipped with a acoustic foam, this will probably be quite handy when wanting to make the case silent. Inside the case you will find a manual along with drive rails and a zip bag with various screws and mounting pieces.
