Features
High efficiency ventilation for the motherboard and HDD drive. Entire case is constructed of aluminum to conduct and disperse heat like a huge heat sink. Tool-less assembly/disassembly for quick and easy access for maintenance or upgrades.
Packaging was adequate and the case arrived without incident. Pulling the case out of the box was a real treat. Lets take a look at some snapshots.
The case is undoubtedly beautiful and high style. One of the things I really enjoy is the door. An aluminum case is great but when you see standard beige drives installed, it just kind of takes away from the beauty. With the door, you can install anything you wish and keep the ugliness hidden.
The front grill is a nice addition. It comes pre-installed with 2 80mm fans to pull cool air into your case and also has a filter to keep out those unwanted particles of dust. It also looks great and blends seamlessly with the design of the case.
Lets take a look at the intake fans from the inside.
