At default, the case is equipped with two preinstalled multicolor LED fans in the top and side for the 'wow' factor. However, if you are a fan (nice choice of words eh :) the front of the case supports five more 80mm fans, it has one preinstalled. So if you want to you could get a total of nine 80mm cooling fans in the case, five are preinstalled and included in the price.

What's a nice detail is that the two fans in the back and one side fan are all temperature controlled with preinstalled thermal sensors, you can't control the temperature threshold though. This case provides more than adequate cooling for even the most hardcore gamers or overclockers, and although 5 fans are noisy I can't say that sound was all that bad.

When we open up the case we can see the Internal Drive Bays: 4 x 3.5" H.D, External Drive Bays: 4 x 5.25" and 2 x 3.5". As stated the case is cheap to buy, so the choice of metal can be compared with canned. It's reasonably safe material, yet you can cut yourself nasty if you remove small parts of iron when removing them to make space for PCI and AGP slots. Furthermore included are the necessary screws & stuff, also you need to be aware of the fact that this is just a PC case, no PSU is supplied.
