Removing the case from the packaging, I first noticed the case�s weight; the combination of the power supply and the steel construction make for a heavier-than-normal case.As you can see, most of the exterior has a smooth black metal finish, with the exception of the clear side panel on the removable side.I liked the sophisticated yet understated look of the case.
