Accessories and Getting Inside
The accessories included with the case are pretty much the standard fare. There are a bag of screws and standoffs, a few slot covers, and the AC power cord. No manual or even a sheet detailing the case was included, but that probably isn't necessary. The accessories came taped to the inside of the case, securing them for the shipping ride. To gain access to the case, one has to remove a total of six screws at the back, that is, three per side. That's too many for me, but you could easily get away with just putting in two per side.

Side internal view.

Front internal view.

After removing the screws, the side panels slide back about 1cm, and then can be removed. After removing the side, you are greeted by a fairly spacious interior for a mid-tower. One thing to note, since this case is made out of thinner-gauge steel, the side panels will seem more flimsy if you've been used to 1mm thick steel cases. The next thing I want to do after removing the sides, is remove the top. That became a little more difficult than I had thought it would be.

Front chassis with bezel removed.

Top removed - case fragile!

To remove the top, you must remove two screws at the back, two more on the sides, and two at the front. However, to get at the screws at the front, you have to remove the front bezel. That itself, requires the removal of six screws holding the bezel in place, or three per side. It shouldn't be that hard to remove the bezel itself, because when you want to remove a drive bay shield, the abscence of the front bezel makes it easier to do so. Anyways, after removing the top, I noticed the whole case become extremely fragile. I guess I wasn't supposed to remove the top after all, and I suggest that you do not either.

The Deer 300w PSU.

The 4 molex connectors, one FDD connector, and ATX power connector.

The 300w PSU is a Deer model, and though I have heard some bad things about them, I haven't had a bad experience with them. You can however, get this case with other power supplies from AMK computers, if you like, including some of the Enermax units they carry. One thing that I didn't like about the PSU is that it only comes with 4 drive connectors. Chances are, you'll probably end up having to use a splitter to power all your devices, but this is just speculation.

Motherboard tray.

Non-replacable slot covers.

The motherboard tray came with the standard six stand-offs preinstalled for convenience. This is pretty nice, as long as you have a motherboard with a standard layout, as most people do. The slot/expansion covers were the kind that are not replacable. I didn't really like this, as you have to twist them until the thin piece of metal holding them in place fractures, in order to remove them. However, two replacable slot covers are included in the accessories package.

Standard ATX I/O panel layout.

LEDs, reset, power and speaker cables.

The I/O panel is pretty standard as well, with provisions for onboard sound and ethernet. The LEDs' cables and reset switch cables are all together in a ribbon-cable arrangement, which makes it slightly easier to take out the front bezel, (to which the cables are attached to), because the cables don't get as easily caught or snagged on the hole the chassis through which they pass through.
