Product Showcase - Exterior

Here you can spot the left and top side tempered glass side-panels. They have a slightly dark matte coating that looks lovely. Good to see that it's now all tempered glass, and not a mixture of plexy in there. The size is roughly 544 x 248 x 546mm / 21.4 x 9.8 x 21.5 inch. The chassis is made out of several elements like steel and the tempered glass side panels. It offers a nice amount of space for even the bigger sized motherboards. Motherboard form factors supported are: Micro-ATX, ATX and E--ATX form-factor. The chassis is priced at 199 EURO/USD, which by any standard is not cheap alright.

The right and left side panels are made out of tempered glass and are mounted in a bit of an unusual (but good) way. At the top of the panel there is a screw, right? You rotate the screw like 90 to 180 degrees, and then it is unlocked, you can easily lift the tempered glass panel out now.

Major irritation, the tempered glass panels have a layer of plastic protection, CM applied these before applying the screws mechanism. Ergo pull off the plastic film and there will be residual plastic there, and trust me it's not easy to peel away. Stupid.
  

 
The backside shows us, on the top, a 140 mm fan; 1,200 RPM, 19 dBA. Then we spot a good 7+2 expansion slots. To the far right, you'll see meshes for extra exhaust ventilation. All the way below we see the PSU section which is covered up with shielding. Do you see the two vertical slots? You could mount, well, 'hang' a graphics card there. These enable you to show one graphics card in the vertical position. Two notes here: the required riser cable is not included. However, there is some additional support for the graphics card which we'll show later on.
