The back portion of the YY-5601 features a standard PSU mount, I/O ATX back plate, expansion slots, and one 120mm
exhaust fan mount. The top panel is riveted directly to the case chassis and in order to incorporate any type of
modification these rivets will need to be drilled out and replaced with mounting screws. The left and right side
panels are secured to the case chassis using a four chrome thumb screws and can easily be removed by unscrewing
two thumb screws on each side.

The YY-5601 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. Yeong Yang has moved away from
traditional 80mm fan mounts in favour of a 120mm fan exhaust mount, which provides perfect air circulation for
a case of this size. The integrated stamped grill should not impact airflow but consumers wishing to maximize
air circulation can easily cut this area away with any type of rotary tool.

The left side panel includes one 80mm fan mount that is positioned towards to the top portion of the panel.
The fan mount is aligned directly over the location where the CPU and heatsink will sit inside this case.
In order to efficiently remove hot air generated by the CPU, a black 80mm duct or "Air Guide" has been
installed on the inside of the panel to simplify this process. The "Air Guide" is also part of Yeong Yang's
air filtration system and works with the front mounted Venetian style blinds to keep case temperatures
at a minimum.
