| Once the sidepanel is taken off, we find a lot of space to install hardware. If you'd like to install a oversized graphics card like for example a nVidia GTX 295 or an ATI Radeon HD 5970 this isn't a problem at all thanks to the cases comfortable depth. | Integrated into the left side panel you find a 220 millimeter fan which can be activated by a dip switch. A special goodie are the LED's which illuminate the comfortably silent fan. The Sidepanel has some noise reduction foam around the fan area. |

| To exchange PCI cards, IN WIN has used the old school screw closing mechanism. This seems a bit old fashioned style, comparing the young design of the case. The cage where the hard drives are mounted seems very practical there are no issues in doing so. They can be placed in the harddrivecage without touching anything else. | For the different multibay slots, IN WIN put all the mounting bars into some kind of a drawer which chan be hidden in a 5.25'' slot. This case you'll never have to search for screws or anything likely. |

| Very practical is the fact that the mainboard tray comes with a hole where you mount the CPU cooler which makes installing a cooler with backplat possible even a mainboard is already in place. If you ever assebled a PC yourself you'll also appreciate the folded edges. |
