The rear portion of the Nexus White iStyle ATX Quiet Computer Case has a plastic cover that is moulded
to the contours. There are cutouts in the plastic for the power supply, the ports as well as the expansion
slots. The rear upper portion of the case features a standard PSU mount that will fit most AT or ATX power
supplies. Here the tool-less design falls apart because you need screws to install the power supply, but
since there are no thumb screws supplied, one must either use regular screws or get some thumb screws.

The middle portion of the iStyle features an ATX I/O plate which is pre-punched for mouse and keyboard,
one serial port, two USB ports and one parallel port. To the right of the ATX I/O plate is one 80mm
fan mount. The pre-punched grill, through both the metal and plastic is stepped to accommodate the
expansion slot holders. Unfortunately this makes it difficult in drilling it out or forgoing the purple
fan holder since it doesn’t fit the internal colour scheme. Towards the bottom of the case are seven
expansion slots available to fit any combination of PCI or AGP expansion cards.

On top is a plastic carrying handle which passes through the plastic top as well as the steel chassis.
To prevent the handle from pulling through are two 1" washers. I would have liked to see larger washers,
or a steel cored one, but as it is, it would be helpful for leverage at the very least.
