A standard mATX I/O panel is included with the case and resides below the power supply and "MADE IN CHINA" stamp. Next to the I/O panel is the single 60mm fan included with the case, attached behind a stamped fan grill. Consumers seeking better case air circulation will want to cut away the stamped fan grill and replace it with a grill allowing more adequate airflow. Sitting at the bottom of the back side of the case are 4 standard PCI backing plates.

As previously mentioned, there is only one side panel can be removed by use of the two thumb screws. Inside the Fusion II, Nikao has bundled the 230v power cord with the Molex connectors from the power supply. Mounted in the upper rear portion of the case is the 200w power supply. The power supply’s label shows it is a 230w (max) switching power supply manufactured by Elle Korea.

Below the power supply is the I/O backing plate and the included 60mm fan. The fan is powered by a standard Molex power connector. Below the fan there seems to be room for another 60mm fan to be mounted, but there aren’t any holes to mount a fan. Consumers wishing to mount an additional fan would have to drill the holes for the fan as well as cut out the stamped grill to allow for more airflow. The floppy bay is located in the upper front portion of the case as well as the internal 3.5" bay.
