Here we can see the left side panel, with quick release hinges The front side itself reveals a thing or two as well. The size of the chassis by the way is 15.5" (H) x 11.5" (L) x 14" (W) - (393mm x 292mm x 356mm). Behind the front IO (removable) mesh we spot a 140mm fan. The chassis comes with two fans and all can be PWM fan controlled, in fact the 380T has the a 3-step fan controller mounted onto the top of the chassis, we'll show you that later on.

The right side panel can be removed as well. It is hinged and also perforated to optimize airflow. You do need to remember that these chassis can hold extremely powerful hardware these days, and these run hotter opposed to your more regular HTPC kit etc. So the one thing you do not need to worry about is ventilation and enough meshes.

At the backside we can see the IO panel, a 120mm PWM fan (included). The front 140mm fan BTW is included as well and has a white LED. Being a Mini-ITX chassis you will have two PCI expansion slots available. Down below you can mount a PSU. It should not be larger then 150mm as there is ample space for the cabling.

Also notice that both the side panels have these very handy quick release hinges that open and secure the panels really easy. On top we see a nice carry handle and the front panel (we'll look at that in a jiffy). Great ventilation, the 380T comes two fans but can hols a total of five of them. Again, these can be fan controlled by the chassis. Obviously you can go nuts with other fans here as well as installing a smaller LCS (liquid cooling system) radiator. A 120mm radiator would be fairly easy to install. But we'll show you some photo's of the inside on the next pages as well.
