On the front panel there are the following connectors: 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 FireWire port, audio-In and audio-Out. These connectors are hidden under a small cover, which you should simply raise to find the connectors.

Behind the net on the front panel there is a dust filter, which protects the insides of the case against dust. A smart solution, no doubt.

The case is made of pretty thick metal. Together with a quite heavy power supply unit, this heavy case absorbs the vibrations and reduces the noise. The cheap cases are usually made of thin metal with unpolished edges. In our Chenbro Gaming Bomb case all edges are very well polished and your fingers will be safe and sound: it is simply impossible to cut them!

Low-quality PC cases very often have one more problem: the installed CD-ROM drive gets pressed to the mainboard. The Chenbro case eliminates this problem completely: no matter how big the mainboard is (reasonably big, of course), the drive will be above it. Also sometimes you do not have enough space for the second HDD or a CD-RW drive. With the Chenbro Gaming Bomb you will forget about this trouble: there are four 5-inch bays, one external 3-inch bay and 4 internal 3-inch bays in it.

The fan blowing the air outside can be of various sizes: 80mm, 92mm and 120mm. The default fan is an 80x80mm one. One of the indisputable advantages of this case is very smart cooling scheme, when the airflow from the case fan and PSU fan goes directly to the CPU cooler.

We would also like to point out that with a system assembled in Chenbro Gaming Bomb case you can easily access all internal components unlike cheap Chinese cases, even though the mainboard is fastened permanently.

And now I have to say a few words about the revealed drawbacks. First of all, I was very upset to find no Reset button on the case. Sometimes, when the system freezes and doesn’t react to Ctrl+Alt+Del combination, the Reset button is very helpful. This will first of all disappoint overclocking fans, who use this button very often trying to squeeze the maximum performance out of their systems.
