A Closer Look :::...
Here we can see those two rear 60mm exhaust fans. At 25mm deep and with a fairly acute blade pitch they can move a fair amount of air at reasonable low speeds, thus aren't as noisy as you might imagine. In fact at their rated 2500RPM they rate at around 19dBA, the same as the front 80mm fan.

The entire front of the case is utilised for either cooling or drive storage. The only real barren area is where the cables enter which is a handy place to tuck excess IDE cable anyway.

Unlike some case designs, the 5.25" drives can be slid in from the front of the case, this is useful as, once the PSU is installed, it's not possible to do it internally.

Although I'm doubtful as to its usefulness in a home environment, the Tenor comes complete with an intrusion detection micro switch.

The two blue LEDs on the front of the case are fed buy two pass-thru Molex connectors. I'd much sooner they were combined into a single connector as it seems a rather bulky and clumsy way to feed two tiny LEDs.

| Front Panel Power |
Removing the front panel is a case of releasing an assortment of plastic clips. A locating peg each side keeps the panel sat straight and takes some of the strain.
