The main panel is clear and mostly made of plastic with a number of slits in it for ventilation for the very large fan on the inside of the door to push hot air out of the case. Really this fan is huge at 230x230x20mm with a blue LED it runs at 800rpm and 15 decibels so it isn't loud at all and the case does it's job quite well as with the other fans. There's another HDD air cooler on the front in taking cooler air coming in at 120x120x25mm another blue LED fan which runs at 1300rpm and 17dBA. And finally we have the CPU fan a 120x120x35mm turbo fan exhausting hot air and with no LED.

Let's move onto installation. Opening up the side panel is a breeze. Unscrew a few screws with your hand and push a few press-to-open clips and the case is off. We decided to start off first with installing a power supply which we used a 650W Tarantula we reviewed earlier which went in without even having to remove the PSU bridge. That was a snap with four easy screws in the back as with other PSUs. From there we setup the mounting brackets for our Gigabyte 780G board which was painless to install and fit easily. Installing into the 5.25" expansion bays is incredibly easy, just remove place holder for the expansion, stick in your DVD burner until it clicks and done. That's it. Although you can secure it with screws for our needs it felt secure and was unnecessary. Removing the hard drive cage is easily done and again is done by removing two thumbscrews and it slides easily out.  Hard drives lock into plastic compartments that come out of the bay easily and lock securely. After that hooking everything else up is a snap from power cables to cords there's a good amount of room to work within. Our system was up then and ready to go. The case looks quite nice too with the blue LEDs which makes it stand out so it might be great for a work environment but otherwise working within this case was a pleasure.

Running the system with the Gigabyte 780G, 2GB of RAM, and a Phenom X3 8750 gave us excellent cooling results of around 32 degrees Celsius for the processor and 35 degrees for the motherboard. We ran into no problems at all with installation and we also like the the system is light but sturdy, and the cosmetic changes from the earlier Armor line.
