Interior of the case

By pulling out a small mounting piece from the harddrive cage you will be able to mount the drive without any tools. In the front you will find a LED fan that takes in some cool and fresh air into the case. The overall fan noise is in my ears quite loud but the fan controller helps you control this noise.

The push clip system on this case is very nice and makes installation very easy, I personally like this system way better than the twist locks that alot of manufacturers use. All the corners in this case are rounded to make it safe for you to work with.

If we look at the brackets on the back its a familiar clip design where you mount your card and push the clip on to hold the addon cards in place. The rear of the case is also equipped with a fan to exhaust the hot air out of the case.

If we look a the motherboard backplate they have actually made it quite easy to mount the right stands for the motherboard. You look at your motherboard, which standard it uses, and then just add the stands to the right letters listed on the backplate. I know this has been done before but they have made it easier with a nice white background and black letters instead of letters carved into the steel backplate.

In the top of the case they have also mounted a big 200 mm fan which also works as a led fan if you so desire. The fans as said earlier are quite loud at higher speeds but the fan controller can take care of this noise and lower them down to a decent RPM level.
