Turning to the inside of the chassis, we can see more of this striking red theme. Each of the 5.25″ bays has a tool-less mechanism with a bright red X on top, which is twisted 90 degrees to lock in/out of place.

At the back of the case is 7 PCI slots, as well as a red 120mm fan.

At the top of the chassis we weren't surprised to find another fan … this time a slightly larger red 140mm model.

Looking towards the front of the chassis we can see there are plenty of cables, as well as two more 120mm fans at the front.

Turning to the other side we can the tool-less mechanism is on both sides of the chassis, as well as a small CPU-cutout. There are also plenty of holes for cable tidying, although it seems there is limited space behind the motherboard tray.

Taking the front of the case off, we can see the front fans are also red and are branded by Aerocool themselves.

Once we had removed the front of the case, we found that there was a power cable …. which powers two LED's in the red strips on either side. The whole of the front of this case is made of mesh and so we expect good thermal performance, however this probably will compromise acoustic performance.
