As always we begin with packaging. It's a simple yet informative thing to show as when you purchase a chassis, you probably do not want any defects and scratches on it. The 400Q is packaged in cardboard.

Once you take the unit out of the cardboard box you'll notice two layers of polystyrene protecting the unit, which on its end is covered in a plastic bag. Packaging was done carefully and the chances of damage and risk are minimal thanks to that.

So there it is. Looks like a run of the mill chassis very much, but it definitely houses a couple of pleasant surprises. The design is kept simple, no bright lights and screaming logos -- subtlety in full effect. The dark black design is easy on the eyes. Less is better, and that works out well here and yeah, the very same vent system up-front as the 600C we recently tested. The bulky and sturdy looks from the older and more regular 300R model have been dropped though, too bad as I really liked that. Aside from the interior the chassis looks different from its brothers and sista's. The chassis is made out of a steel structure.

When we flip around the unit we can see the side panel and back a little better. Again, simple but stylish. The panel can be removed with two thumbscrews. The size of the chassis is by the way 495mm x 210mm x 484mm. The chassis actually has multiple mounting points for plenty of cooling. An intake and exhaust fan are included, and you can go from there by installing two 120mm or 140mm fans in the front, and two 120mm or 140mm fans on the top panel. The included is a front-mounted 120mm fan and a rear 120mm fan. The backside itself reveals a thing or two as well. Next to the 7 card slots we see three holes lots of meshes for ventilation as well as the lower PSU compartment.
