The Exterior
The front of the case is mostly mesh, with the exception of the stripe down the right, which contains the switches, LEDs and ports. Behind the mesh is a very fine dust filtering mesh, although it can’t be removed, so the only way to clean it is to remove the front bezel and blow it out from behind with compressed air. This is less than ideal, but I guess we can’t expect everything on a case with this price tag. The side has a bulge in it, with room for a 120mm side fan to be installed. The vent is nice and open – using a honeycomb structure, much like all of the other fan grilles on this case.

The back of the case comes with a 120mm fan installed. More specifically, an XtraFlo 120 fan. It is different to the XtraFlo 120 fans on Cooler Master’s website in that it has a slower maximum speed. It only runs at about 1000RPM at full speed. The right hand side panel is quite plain, but has the same bulge in it as the other side, which allows for more room to tuck cables behind the motherboard tray.

The power supply mounts at the bottom of the case, which has a removable dust filter. That is very nice to see on a case with this price tag. The top has room for a 120mm or 140mm fan to be installed. It does come with a filter, but it’s not nearly as fine as the front and bottom filters.
The steel used on this case isn’t as thick as the In Win Z583, but it still feels solid enough, and is much better than we saw with the Antec VSK3500. The side panels don’t bend easily, nor does the case twist and bend like the VSK did.
