To deal with air circulation issues, the external shell of Lascala SST-LC01 HTPC Case has been drilled
with a series of ventilation holes. There is currently no fan accommodation in this area but those
individuals who want this feature can easily modify this area to add a fan mount. The rear of the case
has been sanctioned off into three sections with the PSU mount on the very left.

The middle portion of the case features one 60mm fan mount which acts as an exhaust blowhole. Below the
80mm fan is the ATX I/O backplate for a motherboard and seven slots to install any combination of PCI
and AGP expansion cards.

The external housing the of Lascala SST-LC01 HTPC Case follows the same traditional pattern of most
desktop cases and is designed in the "U" shaped pattern. Case modders should take note that modding
this panel with windows and extra fan holes might be tricky but not impossible. Once the external
housing has been removed, the interior of the case is both spacious and well laid out. The middle
portion of the interior features a long and thick aluminum cross bar which is central support for the
entire chassis. The cross bar is installed by two mounting screws at each end and will provide support
for the weight of a monitor if placed on top of this case. As previously mentioned, Lascala SST-LC01 HTPC
Case has been designed to accomodate a mATX or Full ATX motherboard configuration.
