The back portion of the Nikao Ogre Mid-Tower Gaming Case features a standard PSU mount, I/O ATX back
plate, expansion slots, and a single 120mm fan mount. While the left and right side panels are completely
removable, the top panel has been riveted directly to the chassis. The rivets will require drilling in
order to separate the top panel from the chassis in order to incorporate any type of additional modification
such as a top window or exhaust blowhole. Below the PSU mount is a single 120mm rear exhaust that has
been shielded by a window louver style fan grill. Although the fan grill was created with the intentions
of maximizing airflow, the bulky plastic grill unfortunately inhibits airflow compared to a
simple wire grill. An ATX I/O back plate is provided which will fit most standard motherboards and
includes all the necessary cut outs for serial, parallel, video, USB, mouse, keyboard, onboard LAN and
integrated sound.

The Nikao Ogre Mid-Tower Gaming Case 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. To simplify the process of accessing the case interior, Nikao has included a plastic handle on
the left side panel.

The Nikao Ogre Mid-Tower continues a long standing trend that is found on most pre-modified cases on
currently on the market. The left side panel includes a pre-modified window which provides a full sized
view of the case interior and has an 80mm fan that located directly in the area above the CPU location.
A Quad LED 80mm fan has been installed and decorated with a laser cut "Blade" fan grill. The side panel
supports a piece of clear acrylic which is aligned on the inside of the case and is supported by a series
of mounting screws.
