Right, as stated on the first page, tempered glass with a white photo studio are two things that do not match, hang in there with me here, I will do my very best photography wise.

Shown on the previous page, here is the front panel in a little more detail. The front panel features 2 x USB 3.0 2 x USB 2.0 HD Audio. You will also spot a button to control the RGB LEDs. For what it offers the Shogun presents itself as an feature rich affordable chassis (159 EURO / USD) that still uses premium materials like 3mm tempered glass sides, strong SECC steel and a distinctly clean looks.

There is no place or space for 5.25" drives, so optical units are a thing of the past. Other than that you can house six HDDs and another two SSDs on the frontside. At the back in the mobo tray youc an mount another two SSDs and sure, in the 3.5" trays you can house SSDs as well. Believe it or not, but water cooling options are possible and plentiful, you will have support for a 360 mm radiator in the front, even 140/280 or a 360mm rad up top and and a 120/140 mm radiator at the rear. 

BTW on this photo you can see the effect of that matte coating inside the right side panel, it covers up the wiring and cabling, yet keeps the overall design harmonized  with the see through panel at the left side. I like this solution very much.

The glass side panels can be opened by removing four thumbscrews each, rubberised - just pull the glass panel carefully towards you and carefully take it out.
