Open the door and we find 4 x 5.25” drive bays above 2 x 3.5” drive bays, so there are plenty of externally accessible drive bays. Below the drive bays is an air intake that looks exactly like an air conditioning duct you’d find in your office roof and really doesn’t match the smooth lines of the rest of the case.
The plastic front panel behind the main door can be easily opened as well to assist with installation of optical drives and to give you access to the washable mesh air filter in front of the large 14cm front intake fan. The inclusion of a filter on cases like these is always a welcome addition, helping to keep dust from piling up in all your internal cooling fans and on all of your components.
There are no I/O ports on the front of the case, instead these are kept in a little hatch on the top of the case, included are USB, Audio and an eSATA port instead of the usual Firewire port. An interesting inclusion and given the rising popularity of eSATA drives it’s sure to be a useful one.
