Introduction:::...
There's
not much to look at on the rear of the side panel but below
you can see the slightly primitive but perfectly functional
mechanism on the rear of the quick-release handle.

Acres
of lightwieght aluminium go to make up the spacious interior.
The most obvious first observation is that the internal
3.5" drive cage is rotated 90 degrees so the rear of
your hard drives face outwards. This is increasingly common
these days and makes it easier to add or remove hard drives
without knocking capacitors off your motherboard or having
to remove all your expansion cards.

Much
like the floppy drive cage, the internal 3.5" cages
can be slid out by pressing in the two sprung latches.

To
isolate noise, the drives mount using supplied screws through
rubber isolating bushes.Steel plates on the opposite side
make sure the drive body remains grounded as normal.

This
is the same, blue LED fan as used in the Tsunami. It comes
with an RPM monitor wire which can be fed to a multifunction
display or a motherboard header.

The
fan generates quite a lot of light, certainly enough to
gently illuminate the inside of your case without the need
to buy additional lighting provided you don't like your
case lighting too stark.

Two
thumbscrews on the inside are giveaway to another feature
that was absent from the Tsunami, though not one that I
personally missed, a removable motherboard tray.

It
even looks like a tray two with a handle either side. That
seems like a kind of minor point put it means you tend to
use the handles rather than grip the whole motherboard and
tray assembly to carry it and possibly do some damage in
the process
