Product Showcase - Exterior
So, right then, let's start off with the review. As always we begin with packaging. It's a simple yet informative thing to show as when you purchase a chassis, honestly you do not want any defects and scratches on it. The 550D is packaged in cardboard.
Once you take the unit out of the cardboard box you'll notice two layers of foam protecting the unit, which on its end is covered in a plastic bag.
Once you remove that you'll notice the important parts have been covered with a plastic wrap. Packaging was done carefully and the chances of damage and risk, thanks to that, are minimal.
And there is is fully unpackaged. The three S'es -- Simple, Silent and Stylish. The front door is made out of aluminum and can be opened up from both sides. pull it forward and you can remove it completely. The mechanism is simple yet works well. The size of the chassis by the way is 20.9 x 8.7 x 19.5 with the chassis supporting both ATX and mATX form factor motherboards. Do observe the rectangular panels, we'll talk about them in a tidbit.
