Thermaltake Aguila Mid Tower Case

Continuing along, we come to the back of the case.  As you can see, there's no included PSU, which is a small disappointment, but it definitely helps to keep the price reasonable.  Directly below the PSU slot is another large 120mm exhaust fan.  Under that is seven PCI expansion slots.  This looks pretty standard, other than the very nice exhaust.

     

Let's remove the side panel and have a look on the inside to see what kind of goodies we've got.

Interior

Beginning on the inside of the case, there seems to be plenty of space to work.  There is no removable mainboard tray, which was disappointing.  However, there seems to be enough room to move around without too much risk of banged knuckles. 

The front bays are standard and there are definitely enough of them.  There are tool-less rails included so that you can attach the drives without any stress at all.  The 3.5" mount is facing the side.  I've always thought this was an excellent feature, because I feel that it makes easier to access the drives, making installing and removing them a breeze.  There are also tool-less clamps included for HDD's.

  

At the rear, the first thing that draws attention is the large 120mm exhaust.  This should provide plenty of airflow, and help the case stay cool at the same time.

Moving down are the PCI expansion slots.  These are tool-less, and the clamps that are used are pretty cool.  I haven't seen these before, but they're pretty easy to pop open, and secure back down.  They're very sturdy, but still easy to open and close as you need to.

  

Now let's get into the installation and see how this goes.
