The interior of the Dynax Server Tower Case can house a total of 5 x 5.25" drives as well as 6 x 3.5" drives. The lower 3.5" drive cage detaches for easy installation of new hard drives by removing the two screws located behind the front bezel. Once the screws have been removed all that is required is to pull the cage backwards to free it from the chassis.

One of the best features on the case was the addition of a slide out motherboard tray. The slide out motherboard tray simplifies the installation of hardware such as motherboards and expansion cards from outside the case. The tray is held to the chassis by two screws and has to be lifted up in order to slide it out. The bottom of the Dynax case has two pairs of swivel feet. These provide the Dynax case with extra stability and can swing out or remain tucked underneath. They clip onto the case through the pre-punched holes and can be easily removed.

At the bottom of the inside chassis, one can install the intake fan. The fan cage is made from plastic and snaps into place without the use of screws. The case will also support full length ISA and AGP cards at the front edge to prevent flexing if the case needs to be transported. The plastic fan cage is optional and in my opinion restricts intake airflow, for that reason I will be excluding it when a system is installed inside this case. The Dynax Server Tower Case includes motherboard header connectors for your HD, speaker, power switch and power LED. Each wire plug is labelled accordingly and requires that your motherboard support these options prior to use. It is best to refer to the documentation included with your motherboard for assistance in connecting these options. One feature that is missing is the reset switch. The switch is supported by most motherboards and cases alike, and one I find very useful almost on a daily basis.
