A Closer Look:::...

The left hand side of the front face is taken up by the bank of fout USB ports. You'll need to make certain your chosen motherboard has a pair of USB headers to get all four operating. With no dust cover over them you may need to remember to poke a vaccuum nozzle in there every once in a while.

The large space above the USB ports would look great with a VFD display installed but this is made trickier because the HDD cage sits on the other side.

The opposite side is dominated by the flush-fitting optical drive door which serves to hide the front of your otherwise possibly ill-matching drive.

Optical Drive Door

Not a new idea, only this drive door is of the soft-close variety which helps remove the disconcerting clunk as the drive drawer snaps shut. It also halves wear in that there's only pressure behind it as the drive opens.

The slightly curved central panel houses the machined aluminium power and reset buttons along with a customary power and HDD activity LED. If it matters to you both are blue which is still the fashionable colour for PC LEDs.

Power and Reset Switch and LEDs

Switching focus to the back end, here we see the rear PSU vent. The PSU features a voltahe input slector switch which you need to check is in the right position before you power her up.

At 240 watts it beats what you'll find in a lot of similar cases, particularly mini-ITX cases, but don't expect to run a high-end CPU and a high-end graphics card without some problems.
