The Inside
The inside is aluminum, which makes the case pretty light. This is great for all us lazy LAN goers that don’t work out. Along with the optical and floppy drive bays, it has a long hard drive bracket, which is good for RAID setups. It fits all standard ATX motherboards, and power supplies, along with the standard number of PCI and AGP slots.
The best feature on the inside of this case is the intake. It’s designed to fit both 120mm fans, and 80mm fans. The only problem is, it sucks the air from the bottom, which isn’t very efficient, also there are all the wires that connect the power button, reset button, USB, ect., to your motherboard. That mess blocks some of the airflow, but still better than nothing at all. If you have a strong fan, it’ll suck air out of the cracks between your floppy drive bays, not enough to be efficient though.
Lastly and probably the most obvious feature, along with the window is the cold cathode. In testing, I ran into a few problems with it though. I’ve already mentioned the switch problem, which is easily changeable. But, there was another problem involving it. No matter how it’s hooked up to the PSU you couldn’t turn it off.
