The front fan holder come fitted with Antec Tri-Cool fans that each have their own fan controller glued to the front of the holder. The fans are held in place with plastic clips that make removing and turning them around easy. Unfortunately, as with most Antec fans, also these use the four-pin peripheral connector rather than a 3-pin fan connector.

 

 

At the very bottom of the front panel there's a small box for all the extra screws. This is a lovely feature as this way the bits are very hard to lose, but for some weird reason Antec has used two small screws to hold the box in place, rather than some tool-less thumb screws. Then again, if you are going to tweak the layout of the case, you'll going to need a screw driver anyway.

 

Rear

 

 

Out of the box the layout of the case looks very familiar. The power supply can be mounted either way at the bottom and at the top there's the normal motherboard area with eight ventilated PCI-slots, holes for the water cooling hoses to pass through and yet another 120 mm fan and its controller. Unlike usually though, also this fan is pushing air into the case, helping with the idea of positive pressure.

 

Top

 

 

The roof of the case is made of translucent gray acryl, and to help moving the case around Antec has also added two sturdy carrying handles to the mix. There are mounting holes for two 120 mm fans on the top, but these don't come installed as standard.

 

Bottom

 

 

The bottom is made of perforated steel. On the front of the case there's room for two 2,5" drives that also come with silicon vibration dampeners. Towards the rear there's ventilation grill for a bottom mounted power supply.
