Keeping things simple as they have so far, opening the case is made easy by simply unfastening the two silver finger screws located on the rear of the case and slide the side off.  Inside the case, we find the included cable for the power supply, the manual, and an assortment of mounting screws.

     The case accomodates up to (2) 3.5" drives through the use of two seperate drive cages.  Each drive cage uses small rubber washers to help reduce hard drive vibrations. The cages are mounted in the front of the case. The drive cages are removed by first removing the front panel then removing three screws from each cage and sliding the cage out the front of the enclosure.   

     Installation for the motherboard was very easy. The only problem I ran into was installing an old CD-ROM into the the 5.25” drive cage. It fits, but as you can see from the following picture, it's a tight fit. The front I/O panel wires were easy to work with when installing the motherboard.  All in all, the installation process was simple.  And the location of the drive cages to the motherboard was very convenient.  This case would be ideal for the shorter 12” rounded cables that are usually useless in your standard tower cases.
