The bottom of the case is equipped with four padded feet. This makes the case match your home theater system very well. Inside the case you will find several various cables and all these are supposed to be connected to the motherboard or to the power supply. Some motherboards don’t support all the functions so you will have to check your motherboard manual to see what your board supports.

The front is also equipped with a fan to take in some fresh cool air into the case. We can see that the fan is mounted by the harddrive cage and this fan will then also help to keep the drives cool. The 5.25 drives are installed into the cage on the right picture, you don’t need any tools to mount them which makes it alot easier to install drives.

The PCI cards can also be installed without any tools, the tooless design makes it very easy to install the cards as you just have to flip up the small lock that holds the backplate of the PCI card down. With the case you also get a quick guide slip and a cd with software and drivers for the display and remote.

The remote control will allow you to use alot of basic windows functions like starting a mp3, moving in the start menu, etc etc. Two tripple AAA batteries are included to run the remote control. With the case you get a small zip lock bag with screws, standoffs, and you also get a manual with a small cloth to wipe of fingerprints of the case.

It is quite tight in the case when you have installed both the PSU and the motherboard. There is not much room to play around with when it comes to cables etc. I had no real problems though to install parts even though my OCZ Psu was a bit big and hard to squeeze into the case.

The display shines with a very nice and comfortable blue light. Since the text scrolls sideways I had a hard time to catch decent pictures of the moving text. Here you can for example see memory usage, date and time, hdd space etc.

Conclusion:
This is a nice case that follows the trend on the market. The 102 model even has a LCD monitor mounted on the case but this one “only” has a display that shows various information. I like the case otherwise the color scheme is nice and it will look awesome with your home theather system. Installation was easy even though the PSU was hard to fit in. I found the case very easy to use even though you get loads of various cables to install. Even the front buttons and the remote is easy to use and will come in handy for you if you decide to buy this product. Overall I am quite satisfied as I only found one con so far.
Pros:
+ Good looking
+ Well packed
+ Easy to use
+ Matches your home theather system
+ Display
Cons:
- PSU might be tight to fit
