The side panels of this case open as traditional ATX cases, i.e. by pulling them to the rear side of the case. On Figure 19 you have an overall look of its interior.

The first thing that catches the eye is the panel for install two 120-mm side fans on the lower section of the case to cool down peripheral cards, especially video cards. These fans, however, don’t come with the case.
This panel has two hinges, opening like a door after you have removed the screw that fastens it to the rear end of the case.

Between the two fans there is a plastic piece containing six plastic fingers. These fingers are used to hold peripheral cards in place, as during transportation big cards can become lose and even lift out of the slot, even if they are properly screwed to the case. The case comes with a spoon-shaped tool for adjusting the height of these fingers (see it on Figure 19), and what you need to do is, after your PC is assembled, to push each one of these fingers down until they firmly reach the peripheral card right below them.

Talking about fans, on Figure 22 you can see the rear part of the case from inside, showing the seven slots and the rear 120-mm fan that comes with the case.

On Figure 23 you have a close-up from the rear side of the hard disk drive bays. As you can see, hot swap power and data connectors are available on the upper bay and if you want to enable hot swapping on the other bays you will need to buy extra connectors from SilverStone. As we mentioned before, the four external hard disk drive bays are inside a cage that can be removed if you want to install up to three more optical drives on the case (as if four bays weren’t enough already). Right above the hard disk drive cage you can see the internal hard disk drive bay. So you can install up to five hard disk drives in this computer case.

Right above the internal 3 ½” hard disk drive bay are the two external 3 ½” bays for floppy disk drives. This case doesn’t allow you to remove the floppy disk drive cage, what would allow you to install at least one more 5 ¼” drive. Since nowadays floppies are completely obsolete we don’t see why SilverStone kept two fixed bays for floppy disk drives.
