The inside looks very similar to the Antec SLK3700


The inside is roomy and all areas are easily accessible, although the motherboard tray is not removable you'll have no problems fitting full size ATX boards in there.


Lining up the motherboard for installation is made very easy thanks to the small metal button in the middle ->

At the front of the case you’ll find connectors for USB, Sound and firewire, but instead of having to figure out every wire to make everything work we see finished plugs which make installation very easy!

This case features a lock on the side panel and also a chassis intrusion detector, the motherboard I used, an Asus P4PE, is capable of reading the sensor.

The right panel also features thumbscrews which remain in their place even when the panel is removed, quite nifty!
