To protect against scratches during transport, the MC001 is wrapped inside a soft foam bag:
The MC001 case is made from both aluminum and shiny plastic; the plastic parts are also protected with a transparent film to avoid scratches:
The side covered in aluminum acts as a heatsink, for a better heat dissipation:
On the top area, we can find some spaces left for air to circulate between the fins of the internal heatsink:
The opposite side has a similar design, but this time its made of shiny black plastic, which unfortunately is a fingerprint and dust magnet; the Arctic logo can be found in center:
On the top side we can find the ventilation holes for the same internal heatsink:
On the front, we can find the 4-in-1 card reader, headphone and microphone jacks, two USB 3.0 ports, the power button, the HDD activity LED, the optical drive and the IR sensor:
The bottom is made from aluminum and comes with rubber material to avoid scratches the product will sit on, but also to prevent it falling of the table; on the left side we can also see two holes where we must insert the screw driver for removing two screws (when performing maintenance inside):
