Above you see the case from the bottom and one thing stands out here. Notice the small slot in front. That's the only place air comes in for the two front intake fans. Even with the feet in, the case will still sit barely a 1/4 inch above ground and if you intend to place the system on carpet, then you'll need to raise it or place it on your desk. Or simply do as I do and use a anti-static mat.

One thing this case has that many don't is a removable motherboard tray. I've never had a case with one and frankly never cared for one. Once I attached the motherboard to the case, I then noticed the peripherals would not line up and fasten to the rear of the case. Like I said, I never had a case with a removable motherboard tray so once I figured out it was just that tray I had inadvertently moved out of place, all fit just fine. I still see no plus to removable tray, but hey that's just me.

Above you see the side panel with the window and the pre-installed fan. Just a simple cut job but Xoxide used chrome molding around the edges which look made for it. Then attached the window.

Xoxide also sent me one of their Multi-Colored Cold Cathode's to highlight the finished work. It's the first I've seen that has more than one color and as you see by the picture below you can even add another cathode to it.

The switch is also very nice. You simply plug the connectors to it but if you wish to use it with your case closed you'll neeed to drill a hole for it. Putting it all together is as simple as plugging a few connectors in then placing the cathode where you want it. Velcro is included to help install it. Simple instructions are also included.

Now is that purty or what! No need for more words here, that picture shows you all you need to know.
