Yeong Yang Cetus Case 

A quick look at the back of the case shows a pretty normal layout, with the use of thumbscrews for one side panel.

You can also see that the Cetus uses a 120mm fan for exhaust as well as the intake up front. 

While not windowed, the side panel does have a couple of items of note. The first is the lock/panel release mechanism.

 

This is noteworthy mainly because not only do I personally like locking side panels, but also it's unique in it's design. There is thumb release at the bottom of the lock, and when pushed down, releases the catch. In my humble opinion, this design is heads and shoulders above others that we have seen here in it's simplicity and ease of use.

Above and to the right of the lock is a simple grill which provides added airflow into the case. 

 

Situated directly above where the CPU would normally be placed, this intake will direct air directly onto or away from your heatsink/CPU, depending on the orientation of your fan. This is aided by the duct that is attached to the inside of the panel which will direct the airflow. Unfortunately however, there is no filter for this duct.

Now that we have the side panel off, let's take a cruise around the inside of the case and see how they have everything laid out.

    

Turning our attention first to the rear of the case, that big 120mm purple fan is an eye catcher. It's mounted in a removable cage for ease of installation. However, it uses a 3-pin plug for power, so I would suggest having a 3 to 4 pin adapter to plug directly into the power supply instead of a motherboard header.  The up side of a 3-pin power plug is that most fan Baybus units accept 3-pin and not 4-pin Molex connectors.

 

The installation of expansion cards is also tool free for this case. A bracket is installed which can be easily removed by lifting up on the tab. Once the expansion card is in place, just push the bracket back in place.
