When first looking at the case it seems rather simple, but there are a lot of cool features lurking on and in it. As always, I like to start with the front bezel, and this bezel is different.

Like a lot of cases out nowadays, there are doors covering the bezels. In my case, most of the time the door is open all the time or else it's in the way. Well, on the Zorro case the front bezel looks like it's covered with mesh from top to bottom. The top portion of the mesh grill actually slides down to reveal the four 5.25" and one 3.5" external drive bays. This sliding door is spring loaded and rides on a rail. When slid down, it will stay locked in the open position, giving unobstructed access to the bays. With just a simple lift of the handle, the front cover unlocks and slides closed via a spring mechanism. The action of the cover closing is slow and steady and makes no sound whatsoever.

Just above the mesh front at the top of the case is the power button. The button is in the middle with a power LED to one side and the HDD LED to the other. No mention of front USB/Audio ports, you say. Wait... what is this arrow under the yellow LED? *pushes arrow*. Hey, it's a secret door that flips open to reveal the location of the front panel connections. There are two USB ports and an Audio/Mic connection under this door.
