The case is built to passively cool the system and it seems to have done a decent job with that in the testing.

The inside is accessible from the bottom of the unit.

The bottom is held in place by these rubber feet screws that you just twist in and out.

The whole case is designed to help maximize the passive cooling ability of the unit.

Here we see the inside of the barebones CI321, there are two slots for DDR3 SO-DIMMs, room for one 2.5″ SSD or HDD, and a pre-installed WiFi card.

The SSD installed into the CI321, users will need a small screwdriver set to install parts into the CI321.

We used Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB DDR3 1600  SO-DIMMs for this review.

Zotac CI321 review - eTeknix-19

The DDR3 installed into the CI321 unit, and everything is ready for an OS install now.
