Exterior
The left side panel comes with two thumb screws for easy access, as well as a large ventilated section that can support two optional 120mm fans for extra cooling performance.
The right side panel is just a flat panel, nothing fancy here, but two more screws for easy access and for helping with component installation.
The front panel is nice and stylish, with the 5.25″ bays at the top, and a large ventilated section for any front mounted cooling. Down the left side, you’ll find a pair of HD audio jacks, as well as a pair of USB 3.0 ports. On the right, the power and HDD LEDs as well as the master power and reset switches.
The rear of the chassis is a fairly old-school, but well-tried and tested layout, with the ATX PSU cut-out at the top, an optional rear fan mount and seven expansion slots at the base. The top expansion slot comes with a reusable cover, although the other six are snap-offs, a cost saving solution but one I’d rather not have.
One the base, four plastic feet provide good ground clearance, and there’s another optional fan mount here should you need it.
