     I removed the drive bay panel to show where the accessories kit is located.  The kit contains the drive rails, screw and the pc speaker. Also notice that this case has dual USB, firewire, headphone out, and microphone in built in under a flip up panel.

     Also the case makers were nice enough to label all the wires in the case, and provided a diagram on how to install your hard drives.  I love how the hard drive bay sits sideways for easy access.

     A quick look at the back reveals that this case is set up like any normal standard ATX case.  With the basic I/O panel included.  Notice the power supply. It's a bit generic but I guess you can't expect much for an $80 case. Then again, a free PSU is valuable bonus to those on a budget.

Conclusion

     I really like this case, it has features and quality found on more expensive cases, yet retails for under $80 at PCToyLand.com.  It has plenty of air flow and room for even the most experienced Overclocker needs, yet doesn’t cost a fortune.  Not to mention the extra bright LEDS on the fans and case front will make you the envy of your next LAN party!  The only thing I didn’t like about this case was the lack of an output fan on the power supply.  Even with the 120mm fan on the back of the case, I like the reassurance that the heat is going to find its way out.
