Product Showcase
The Aluminum / Steel chassis certainly looks good. No flashy logo's, bright light and stuff, nope subtlety is key here. A lot is hidden behind a door.
See that? Boom! At the bottom there is a door, hidden I guess. To the right we see two fan openings, two 120mm Silent Series R2 hydraulic bearing fans are factory installed BTW. But let's zoom in first.
As you probably have noticed, the chassis uses black brushed aluminum, the overall looks fit quite well in any high end home theater system. But I/O ports, one simply flips out the front panel door and you'll notice a Firewire port, 2 USB 3.0 ports, a headphone jack, a microphone jack, and a card reader that supports MicroSD, compact flash, and standard SD cards.
To the left side we see a mount providing access to the optional slim optical drive bay, handy if you have blu-ray aspirations, hey now this is meant to be a HTPC you know, as in Home Theater.
To the left again, two fan mount area's, the front position actually has one R2 hydraulic bearing fan installed. But we'll show you that later on as well. The case dimensions are (W x H x D): 445 x 164 x 349 mm (excluding front panel - 440 x 162 x 341 mm), and the chassis has a net weight of 6,0 kg
