External Design (cont'd)
Behind the door of the Elite model, we see a total of four 5-1/4" and two 3-1/2" exposed bays. On the steel model, there is an extra 5-1/4" drive bay, which brings the total to five, but only one 3-1/2" drive bay. The power button is to the left of the 3-1/2" drive bays and is about 3/4" in diameter on each model while the reset button is then on the opposite side and is about 1/2" in diameter and still easy to press.

The auxiliary ports on the steel model are on the right side of the case on the bezel as we have seen on various cases from SilverStone like the TJ05 and TJ06. The steel model includes two USB ports and audio in/out ports, but leaves out the FireWire port. The Elite model has the auxiliary ports implemented at the top of the case along with an LCD display in roughly a 7"x7"x1" (DxWxH) module, which protrudes out the top of the case. The auxiliary ports are in a rotating piece at the front of the module and include two USB ports, audio in/out ports, and a FireWire port.

The LCD display on he Elite has a blue backlight to match the case fan's LED color and is extremely informative as it displays time, date, temperature and speed of up to 3 fans, HDD activity through a pass through cable, and also has alarm features.

The left side panel of each model features a large square window accented with brushed aluminum corners and a large 120mm LED fan mounted on the window just above the CPU area as an intake to provide the CPU heatsink fan with "fresh" air. The panels are secured to the case by way of thumbscrews and can be removed easily on both models.

Before we get to the inside of these cases, we just have to mention the excellent paint job on both models. The Elite version came in a shiny black coating to match the dark chrome shield at the front. The steel version that we received came in white, obviously contrasting the Elite model and foretelling the differences that we would come to discover.

The inside is really ugly too. I'd take a $20 Dragon over one of those anyday.Gatak - Saturday, February 5, 2005 - link
Hey, be a little nicer to Anand and the other reviewers!They do a good job and procude good quality reviews, and here you come and say it is crap. =(
Sure, many readers (including me) asked for reviews of nicer, more elegant cases. But the truth may be that it may not be so easy to find. And those that do exist, well, it might not be possible to get review samples.
Have respect!

seriously, who buys this crap. I'd rather have a hp/compaq/dell case than this.Cygni - Saturday, February 5, 2005 - link
"It's often tougher to get the more normal looking cases to review"Thats what i was thinking... if the case mft's want to move the more expensive ugly gimicky cases, thats what they will send out, im guessing. Although I agree, a watercooling review/round-up would be pretty interesting.

This is the last one, I put an end to that today. This is something I should've done a while ago but it's better late than never.It's often tougher to get the more normal looking cases to review, but I'd rather review nothing than do any more of these.
Take care,
Anand
