The case is all black, save for a portion of the front panel, which is lined with shiny silver plastic. The case is made entirely from SECC steel, save for the front panel, which is a mix of plastic and metal.
There are exhaust and intake vents at several strategic locations, which allow one to modify their cooling and airflow needs. There are three 140mm fan vents: one on the top (which has a fan pre-installed), and two on the left side panel, and all of them can accomodate both 140mm and 120mm fans. Of course, there are standard 120mm fan vents at the lower bottom of the front panel, and top of the rear panel, and an intake fan has been pre-installed. The exhaust area can handle 80mm, 92mm, or 120mm fans.
The front panel is made of shiny plastic, which has a thin covering of black metal mesh. There are five drive bay covers which have been given the same metal mesh treatment. Below the bezels is an I/O and button area, which is surrounded by shiny silver-colored plastic. This panel has two USB 2.0 ports, a microphone and headphone jack, an eSATA port, and of course HDD activity and power LEDs, a small reset button and larger power button.
The bottom of the case has standard rubber case feet, and an intake vent that has been punched out to allow airflow to any bottom-mounted power supply of your choice.
The important part is the inside. Let’s take a look at that on the next page…
