     Installing the computer components is very easy thanks to the friction grips that are built into the Lanfire case.

     These friction grips are not enough to hold the drives in place by themselves.  Thermaltake includes five thumbscrews to assist the friction grips.

    Unfortunately, five thumbscrews is all that is provided.  Thermaltake recommends using one thumbscrew in each drive.  Thermaltake is going out of their way to make this case a truly tool free case.  The PCI and AGP cards are held in place by a card clipper.

    This makes installing and uninstalling PCI cards easy.  This still wouldn't be a LAN case without some lights.  Thermaltake takes care of this with their signature Lanfire logo on the front of the case.  Not only does it light up, but it cycles through five different lighting effects.

The Lanfire light can be turned on or off from a switch inside the case.

    The front of the case will bring attention to you at your next LAN party.  The fan controller takes up the top 5.25 drive bay  the rest of the bays are behind a lockable door.  Thermaltake also provides front USB and Firewire ports.
