First let's get this out of the box and it is packed very well. As is standard with most of the better quality cases it is double boxed to protect it during shipment. The front panel and optional side window are both covered with a plastic sheeting to prevent scratches until the case is ready to use.
In the above picture you can see the placement of the optional side window and the interior of the case. Notice the large size of the window giving a clear view of the inside.
The case was also shipped with a Tri-color cold cathode light kit and a 80mm Lighted Case Fan These products are not included with the case but can be purchased separately if desired. They were included with this review to demonstrate some of the possible modding options availabe from Maxtop with this case.
The case is supplied with a 350 watt P4 ready ATX power supply, and two preinstalled fans. One 80mm fan on the side panel and a 92mm on the top of the case for a top blowhole.
You'll also find front panel connectors for a microphone, headphones and two USB ports complete with wiring and instructions. And I'm not talking generic instructions either. They actually give the pin out for almost every popular motherboard manufacturer's USB connector. That way there's no guessing or having to hunt down the manual for reference.
Included with the case is a power cord, an ample assortment of fasteners and a full set of "beige" bay covers for those of you that want to "plain down" this case.
So now we know it has lights but let's find out how this case stacks up. After all if it doesn't work there, all the premods in the world aren't going to save it.
So let's put one together--->
