A
Closer Look:::...
From
a side-on view the side window looks acceptably clear, and
it is reasonably, but that doesn't alter my personal dislike
of it, especially for the cost.

Case Side View
|
A square, fine mesh vent indicates the location of the
optional top fan. Here you can see that the handles are
flat and relatively quite broad.

Case Top View
|
The design of the lower front panel is certainly nicely
done. You can easily see the large, open vent for the front
120mm intake fan, but bear in mind that having such a large
fan sucking huge gulps of air though such a fine mesh will
inevitably mean lots of wiping dust off it, particularly
noticeable on the black version I should imagine.

Case Lower Front View

The usual front connectors are offered, including a Firewire
port which is always a bonus. They're unfortunately left
wide open, and with a large fan behind them they're just
waiting to get clogged full of all manner of fluff and junk.

Here's a closer look at the power button,
reset button and HDD LED. Functional rather than luxurious
I think you'd agree.

The
Case
|
Switching to the bottom we see case feet. Great for carpet,
but I'd think twice before standing this case on a hard
surface you care about. The shape also means that if, like
I've been known to do on occasion, you want to stand one
case on top of another, you're probably best not to place
this one on top unless you want to see the slightest nudge
bring it crashing down. You could always take them off of
course.
I think a set of optional hard-surface feet should be supplied,
or at the very least some adhesive rubber pads for the end
of the feet that are supplied.
