Inside GS1000 SE
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

In Figure 10 you have an overall look from the interior of this case.  Even though you can remove the right side panel, the motherboard tray is permanently attached to the chassis. In Figure 11 we show the other side of the case, with the right panel removed. See how there are several holes that you can use to route the several cables (especially the ones coming from the power supply) through the back of the motherboard tray, helping to reduce the number of loose cables inside the case and thus improving the internal airflow.

This case comes with thumbscrews for fastening daughter boards to the case. We think the use of this kind of screw is perfect, since several screwless mechanisms use cheap plastic parts that break while you are building your PC. In Figure 12 you can also see how the slot covers are meshed and the mesh available above the slots.
