The Disk Drive Bays
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

As mentioned, this case has three external 5 ¼” bays and six internal 3 ½” bays for hard disk drives. The number of bays for hard disk drives is insane, especially because we are talking about a mini-tower model. This case comes with a bag full of thumbscrews for installing the hard disk drives, which is terrific.

If you have a floppy disk drive you need to buy the 5 ¼”-to-3 ½” adaptor separately on the manufacturer’s website, as this case doesn’t with this adaptor.

If you pay attention on Figure 10 you can see the place on the front panel for installing two 120-mm fans. For accessing this area you need to remove the plastic front panel, which is done by pressing three plastic latches.

As you can see on Figure 11 this case uses two doors for installing the front 120-mm fans. These doors are fastened to the case using hinges and thumbscrews (which are permanently attached to the doors, so there is no way for you to lose them). You can even remove them from the case.

On the plastic front panel there is a big washable dust filter.
