You cannot remove the top panel. It strengthens the whole construction and has vent holes in its sides. The left and right side panels of the case are removable and are held on thumbscrews: shift a panel backwards to take it off. There’s a window of bluish transparent plastic in the right side panel. In the center of the window they installed an 80mm fan made of transparent plastic and of course equipped with highlighting.

Now we can take a look at the innards of this case. There is an 80mm fan made of translucent plastic and with highlighting on the front panel of the case’s chassis, opposite the HDD bays. There are also mounting holes for a 120mm fan here. The system case can accommodate four 5.25” devices, two 3.5” floppy drives and four hard disk drives. The devices are fastened with screws. The mainboard is also screwed up to the plate riveted to the case’s chassis. There’s a speaker at the bottom of the chassis to signal about any problems occurring with the mainboard.

There are seven slits for expansion cards in the rear panel of the case. They are covered with reusable brackets. Two places for 80mm fans are at the top of this panel.

An MGE LC-B450E power supply with a declared wattage of 450 watts is installed in this system case. The PSU’s cables end in four Molex connectors for optical and hard disk drives, one mini-plug for a floppy drive, and one SATA power connector. The cables are rather too short, however. The SATA power cable cannot reach to the bottommost HDD bay. There’s an On/Off switch at the rear panel of the PSU, but no power connector for the monitor.

Here’s how this system case looks like when powered on:
