Two external 3.5" drive bays are neatly centered just above the front vent. The Kingwin KT424-BK can accommodate
a total of six 3.5" drive bays, with four of these internal. A well sized bright blue Power and Reset switch are
located on the right hand side of the bezel along with Power and Reset LEDs. The Power and Reset switches are flush
with the front bezel for a clean look.

The upper portion of the Kingwin KT424-BK is standard fare with accommodation for up to four external 5.25" bays
for devices such as fan controllers and optical drives. Users may wish to implement some form of stealthing or
alternately paint their drives to match the look of the case. The drive bays are made from the same black brushed
aluminum. The very top of the bezel has been lined with a carbon fiber trim as seen on the popular Lian Li PC-60
model. Tugging a small opening at the bottom of the bezel allows for easy removal which is required to install
drives.

The rear portion of the Kingwin KT424-BK features a standard PSU mount, I/O ATX back plate, expansion slots, and
a single 80mm exhaust. The standard PSU mount allows for an ATX based power supply to be installed from the inside
of the case, eliminating removal of any bottom fan guards. The top panel has been secured to the chassis using a
set of rivets. Both the left and right side panels are secured using two thumbscrews on each side. Included in
the case as an optional security measure is a set of small tabs to secure a padlock to prevent chassis intrusion.
