The Interior

Inside

Opening the left panel, you get a clean look at the interior, and the VGA turbo cooling system.  This might seem in the way, but if you slide the green latch on the right, and press on a tab to the left, it folds down completely out of the way. More on that system in a minute.  Opening the right panel I was a little disappointed, because theere was no need to take it off.  There is nothing that you can get to here that you couldn't from the other side, other than making it easier to take the front panel off.

Panel CableBezel Off

Moving on to taking the front panel off, there is the white cable that hooks up the front panel.  In Win was kind enough to place a quick disconnect for it to make removing the front panel very easy.  There are three clips on either side of the panel, then disconnect the cable.  Looking at the stripped front, there is nothing special.  To place standard external drives, the internal covers weren't even included.  To add additional ones, you will want a screwdriver or pliers to bend the panel until it snaps out.

The inside back wall comes with a 120mm cooling fan, on the same green (in the pics it looks more yellow, but it is 90's style neon green) and black style of the others.  This one is in a toolless bracket, making it easy to swap for a different fan if you found it necessary.  Inside to the right you see the external drive bays, and the hard drive bays.  Four of these are turned 90 degrees, although not uncommon anymore, this is still handy for installation, and provides more room for graphics cards.

There are a couple stickers like this in different places on the case.  Apparently these are the parts they thought you might need the manual for, so they brought it to you.  A nice gesture, but then why is there still a manual?

Here we see the intake vents on the left side panel.  The lower one goes to the VGA turbo cooling system, and the top one goes to the CPU cooler.  Both have removable dust filters, to help keep your system clean, thought they are a larger grain, so the will really just keep pet fur and other large particles out.  The top vent also has a tube to extend to the CPU cooler, giving it a dedicated fresh air supply.  This item is both movable and removable, nice to see that you have options.

Here we can see the back of the VGA turbo cooling system.  This is intended to draw fresh air from the outside, directly onto the graphics and other expansion cards.  Supplied with the system are 2x 80mm fans matching the others in the system.  They are also removable toollessly if you want to swap them for other fans.

If you don't have a long graphics card, then you also have the option of tipping one of the fans out.  This would then propel the air from the front intake along the cards until it met the air coming in from the other fan.  There is also one hard drive bay set the standard way, at the bottom of the case.  This drive must be mounted with screws.  Might be good for securing your OS drive, and placing everything else in the tool free zone.

Now there is an interesting way to get at the front intake fan.  If you press on this green tab the hard drive cage rotates out.  Then you press up on the tab at the right, and slide the fan out.

As you can see, this fan also sits in a tooloess cage, with a removable filter, providing clean cooling air, and the option to swap the fan if you so chose.  The toolless, vibration resistant drive rails are stored in a container that slide into a 5.25" bay.  Here you see one side of the storage bay, and the underside is a duplicate of it.  Even if you needed that bay (I don't know why you would need all four bays in a tower this size) it would be a handy way to keep all of these rails together.
