Features

     Raidmax has moved the front ports to the top of the case.  You will find 2 USB, 1 Firewall, an audio and a mic port on the top.  This is great for normal daily use because most of the time the case is sitting on the floor or under your desk.  This makes access to the USB ports easy.  At a LAN it may be different, since most LANs that I've been to have you put your case on a table next to your monitor.  The large plastic cover is not just for the ports.  It also houses an exhaust fan.

     These are some high quality cables as well.  These will easily meet the USB 2.0 specifications.  Sometimes you will see case makers use the thin flat cables for USB.  While the old flat cables may be good enough for USB 1.1, they just don't cut it for the high bandwidth requirements of USB 2.0.

     The Scorpio 668 also features a full window with an intake fan.  This window is perfect for showing off all of the hardware you are so proud of.

     The front panel has a double-hinged door.  The door that you will use most often is the top picture.  This door gives you access to the power and reset switch along with the lock to open the second door.  The large second door gives you access to the bottom intake fans while also giving you access to change the optical drives and 3.5" floppy.
