The Front Panel
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

One of the inconveniences from this case is that you need to remove its plastic front panel to remove the covers from the 5 ¼” bays and the hard disk drive cages. The problem is that this panel is fastened to the chassis by pressure through seven plastic pegs, not using any screw. Thus to remove the front panel you need to apply pressure near the pegs using a screwdriver, what can crack or break the panel if you apply too much pressure.

In Figure 12, you can see the backside of the front panel. As you can see all covers use dust filters.

In Figure 13 you see the front side of the chassis. This case has one washable dust filter in front of each front 120 mm fan. These fans are located in front of each hard disk cage. On this picture you can also see that this case comes with a 5 ¼”-to-3 ½” adapter installed on the third 5 ¼” bay, allowing you to install a floppy disk drive there. This adapter can also be used to install an additional hard disk drive.
