The front of this case is what I really enjoy. Those tubes going up the side look like crystals in a way. The best part of all is that they light up! In the top of each tube there is a Bright Blue LED. In the bottoms however, there are bright color changing LED's. I counted a total of 6 different colors being blue, red, yellow, white, purple, and green. At first I'll admit that this sounded kind of cheesey but the front of this case looks really sharp and once the lights are turned on it looks even better. The pictures don't do much justice. The drive bay covers are plexy glass with a aluminum backing to give it that metal look. It was hard to get a picture of it that didn't show the flash or glare off of the lights as you can tell.

Down at the bottom is a door for the front USB. Also behind that door is a switch so that you can turn the front LED's on or off. Good idea if you ask me, as after a while the color changing LED's made me feel like I was in the 70's all over again. The cables for the front USB were nice. Normally when you buy a case with front USB you get each wire with its own connector. The cables in this case have the 4 main wires all in one connector and a little ground wire with its own. This made hooking up the front USB very simple. Its always such a pain to dig through those connectors and get each one into the right place.

Also included was a fake cd-rom bezel. Some of us I'm sure have white drives still and believe me black drives look much better in a black case so this is included to help disguise that white drive. I however couldn't get the button to hit the button on my DVD-ROM so I had no way to eject the tray. It might be because of the particular model of drive I have so I'm not sure if this will be a problem with other drives.
