First Impressions
This case is very small and compact with a solid build quality. Three screws at the back hold the case down which slides off to reveal the insides.

Inside the space is well laid out, with a single Fan which can connected to the Epia mainboard I was using. The noise level of the fan is low and is only really audiable in a quite room. A comparison for loudness is to that of an original Playstation2.

One complaint about the case is the brushed silver seems to mark very easily.

Inside the case is seperate platform that is removeable, onto which the optical drive ( Slimline ONLY ) and a single 2.5 inch HD can be plugged in.
Installation point; make sure that the POWER cable is placed underneath the removeable plate, placing it ontop of the HD will likey damage it due to the lack of space between the underside of the lid and the HD once mounted.

The Kit comes with an External 12V Dc PSU and a nice vertical mounting stand which the case slides easily in and out of. Note there are rubber feet inside the mounting case to grip the case which is does quite well.

If you like bright blue Leds then this is your case, at the front is one such device. Its actually quite bright, in a dark room you can almost read a book by it!

One last important point point it DOES NOT have room for any PCI card, so be warned.
