The inside chassis of the casing really is your standard steel stuff. Basically we here have space for five 5 1/4" drives, one external 3 1/2" drive and five internal 3 1/2" drives.
It's a good quality chassis though and what I really liked is that little black clip all the way on top. Hook your cables in there and they make your cable routing look cleaned up. Still no retractable mainboard tray, which I personally love so much. There's plenty of room to work in though. What I disliked though is that certain points here and there felt a bit sharp. So be careful, there's no need for gushing blood all over that new system. And yes, I'm slightly exaggerating.
On the backside of the casing we see one 80mm fan that functions as a rear exhaust, it is capable of supporting a 90mm or even a 120mm fan though. The fan is extremely silent yet doing a pretty good job.
A hole in the chassis, all wiring is guided though it, for a very tidy and clean look of the wiring. Thanks to my steady hand you can clearly see that yellow/black'ish wire? That's the thermal probe I was mentioning before. Furthermore you'll find your standard mainboard connectivity and a molex to clip on the LCD.
Let's hook some stuff up. You are looking at an ABIT AA8XE mainboard with 1GB DDR2 OCZ memory and a way too hot Prescott based Pentium 4 3.6 GHz Processor. Once hooked up we are armed and ready. Let's have a look at the casing with the lighting enabled shall we?
