The panels come off quite easily:
Now the case feet are revealed – two of the dark grey plates are bent over at the bottom and have rubber strips added. This is a nice touch, but because they are not removable, it means that laying the case horizontally will leave the ugly rubber strips exposed. In addition there are no options to replace the metal hex nuts with feet on the right panel so this is clearly not something that was intended anyway.
Here we can also see the half height single pcie slot support. While the slot is single, there is space to mount a card with a fatter cooler on it that takes up 1.5 slots.
All the wires are bundled nicely for you. A disappointment is that the sleeving is quite see through and that colored wires have been used. Any premium power supply or case typically now comes with black wires and thick black sleeve to avoid this “clown” effect. This is even more surprising given that the case comes with a glass window.
In terms of power supply cables – there is a 24 pin cable for the motherboard, and a single 4 pin EPS connector for the CPU power. There are no PCIE power cables, nor are there additional sata or molex power connectors. The good news though is that the existing HDD/ODD mounts are already pre wired for you!
While these are not quite hot swap bays, they do make it very quick and easy to install your drives in what is otherwise a tight case. This is what In Win meant by “ez swap”.
In addition to the power connectors there are also the cables for the front panel switches, LEDs, USB and audio.
Now let’s get that hardware mounted!
