Out of Box Experience Continued:

The front of the Unicorn is more of a conventional look, with some interesting design choices thrown in for good measure.  The door itself is held closed with two small magnets, and the power and reset switches are on the top of the door, meaning they are accessible even with the door closed.  The door itself is a mix of plastic and brushed aluminum, with a very solid feel.   

Here is a close up of the switches themselves, with the reset on the left, and the power in the center.  The LEDs are the two small points to the right. 

Here is the backside of the door as it sits open.  The backing is entirely plastic, with a grille on the side that lets air into front intake, as well as lets light out from the LED fan.  Notice the cabling for the Power and Reset switches and LEDs running in from the bottom. 

Now, we are looking at the intake fan itself, with two USB ports and the audio jacks on the bottom.  Unfortunately, these are not accessible unless the door is open.  I would have liked to have seen these placed on top by the power switch, or on the side panel like is done on some other cases. 

Next up, we have the back side of the case, which presents some surprises of its own.  First off, we notice the handle at the top: this is for the motherboard tray removal feature.  Secondly, we have what appears to be another fan, which is definitely different.

Upon closer look, we see that there is no fan, just a fan port for another 80mm fan.  This directly vents the upper 3.5" drive cage.

The back side of the case is far from typical as well, with a dividing line that separates half of the chassis when the motherboard tray is pulled out.
