Enermax CS-800TA-A7W Case

The face of this tyrant is very cleanly styled with aluminum, chrome and a plastic bezel surrounding the whole package. 

Four 5.25" drive bays are noticeable and also two 3.5"'s.  The top most two bays are fortunate enough to hold spring-loaded color coded doors for CD drive concealment.

  

Front panel features are as follows: two USB 2.0, sound in/out, IEEE 1394, a blue back-lit LCD temperature display, power and reset buttons and a HDD LED indicator.  Directly under the power button you find the front panel grill cover for an 80mm fan.  Styled smartly in a wire mesh with chrome, the cover is very aesthetically pleasing.  The wire mesh should be able to put a large dent in the amount of dust your case would otherwise suck in.

  

Four clips along the left side hold the front bezel securely to the frame and after releasing these clips the panel swings open like a door, easily removed.  We see the connections for the panel and notice that the blanks for the drive slots.  Also, you can only mount one fan of one size (80mm).

The left side panel contains no extra air holes nor fans, but it is very clean and smooth, the paint easily protecting against scratches, bumps and nicks.  The feet are also present and by only being placed in the front give Voltron an almost turtle stance.

Voltron's rear contains a great big hole, suitable for any standard size PSU.   Also noticeable is a long vertical set of holes, for extra air circulation.  Though no fans can be mounted on these, they could serve as an inlet for positive pressure.

Cooling is utilized with two sets of holes, for 80 or 90mm fans.  Too bad it doesn't come with one.
