Inside AeroRacer Pro

The side panels are fastened to the chassis using thumbscrews, which is great. Even though you can remove the right panel, the motherboard tray is permanently attached to the chassis. In Figure 8, you can see the left panel with the big 400-mm fan attached. As already mentioned, it uses a regular 4-pin peripheral power connector, so you can’t install it on your motherboard to monitor its speed and it also does not provide any speed controller. The side fan doesn’t provide a dust filter and maybe with time it will get very dirty.

In Figure 9, you can see the rear panel viewed from inside, where you can see the spot for installing the optional 120 mm rear fan and the screwless mechanism for installing daughter boards.

This case uses a screwless mechanism for fastening daughter boards to the case. This mechanism is made of plastic, using individual latches to hold each expansion card. You can see a close-up from this system in Figure 10.
