The case arrived in a heavy duty box with carrying handle. Inside was a work of ergonomic art. Brushed aluminium, tinted windows, 5 x 80mm fans, including one LED at the top where the third case-window is located. Twin 80mm fans in the bottom front of the case for intake, along with 4-USB, 1-fire-wire, and audio connectors. Two 80mm fans at the rear, which by the way are conveniently mounted in the motherboard tray, which easily slides out by loosening four hand-screws.

In fact these convenient hand-screws are everywhere. One for each PCI card slot, 6 securing the front plexi-glass, 4 mounting the PSU, and 4 securing the removable motherboard-tray. Even the removable HDD/water-cooling hardware cage within the case has hand-screws. Verbally describing this case is wholly inadequate for such exquisite hand craftsmanship. So onto the eye-candy, which by the by, is mere icing on the cake for this beauty;

The slide out motherboard tray has to be the best design I've seen (High quality Coolermaster Cases also have this feature). It's held securely in place with four hand-tightened, aluminium screws, and L-shape includes securely mounted twin 80mm rear fans;

Below is the slide out motherboard L-tray with fans attached. Notice the hand-screws on every PCI port;

The case comes completely apart, and if one were so inclined, you could remove every panel leaving a surprisingly rigid frame. I imagine the effects on temps would be amazing, and I'm just one panel away from this;
