The Rear and Side Panels
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

On Figure 10 we can see the rear panel of this case. This is the only external panel that isn’t manufactured in aluminum, as it is part of the case body. Like almost all high-end cases this product doesn’t come with a power supply and it has seven slots, just like 99.9% of the cases on the market. On Figure 10 you can also see that this case comes with a 120-mm fan on its rear panel.

A very interesting feature present on the rear panel from this case is the two pre-drilled holes for an external water cooling system. These holes come closed and you can see them between the fan and the power supply hole on Figure 10. If you want to use them just break their covers by inserting a screwdriver on the flat hole available and swinging the screwdriver back and forth.

Almost all screws present on the rear panel are thumbscrews, which is excellent, and both side panels are removable. This case also provides a removable motherboard tray, and this tray is also fastened to the case using thumbscrews.

On this case the top panel is also removable, but it uses just regular screws.

On the rear side of this case you can also find a place for installing a pad lock, which is a very important feature to prevent people from opening you case and stealing your components while you went to the bathroom during a LAN party.

The side panels are also manufactured in aluminum, as we have already mentioned, and they are removed just like on regular ATX cases, by unscrewing them and sliding them to the rear side of the case. Both side panels have a black foam sheet attached to them, used to reduce the noise produced by your computer.
