The back portion of the Trinity X-21 Mid-Tower Case features a standard PSU mount, I/O ATX back plate, expansion slots, and dual 80mm rear exhaust fan mounts. The top and side panels are secured to the case chassis using a series of thumbscrews and provides full tool-less function. All the panels can be separated from the case chassis with ease which makes this case very modification friendly. The orientation of the PSU mount can handle any type of standard or dual fan ATX power supply currently on the market.

Below the PSU mount are dual 80mm rear exhausts located behind stamped grills that are integrated into the case frame. Consumers concerned with maximizing air circulation in this case and easily remove these stamped grills with any type of Dremel or rotary tool. An ATX I/O back plate is provided in the accessory pack which will fit most standard motherboards and includes all the necessary cut outs for serial, parallel, video, USB, mouse, keyboard, onboard LAN and integrated sound. The Trinity X-21 also comes equipped with plenty of expansion room in the form of 7 PCI/AGP slots ready for use. The tabs covering the slots can be easily removed once the motherboard has been mounted.

Embedded security clip
 
In order to simplify the process of accessing the case interior, the left and right side panels are secured using a series of thumbscrews. Another nice addition is a security-locking clip, which is secured to the chassis using one screw. The left side panel slips over the security-locking clip and by using a simple bolt lock can prevent anyone from opening up your case and removing your hardware. The idea of the security locking clip is very good in the short term, but keep in mind that it will not stop anyone who is really determined to steal your case.
