Opening of the front plastic door reveals that the Sunbeam Samurai Gaming Case is capable of accommodating a total of five 5.25" devices. The use of five bays is a welcome addition and one more than the standard four found on the majority of mid-tower cases on the market. Directly below resides a single 3.5" external bay for use with ZIP or Floppy Drives. Users should note that due to the curvature of the front door the installation of fan controllers and similar devices is prohibited. This issue can be easily remedied with some simple dremel work to the interior portion of the door.

An oversized power button is neatly placed in the center of the bezel directly below the 3.5" bay. This button doubles as an aesthetic feature and illuminates indicating power to the system. A series of audio and USB ports have been integrated into the right side of the Sunbeam Samurai Gaming Case in order to promote easy connectivity for common devices. The dual USB 2.0 Ports utilize an onboard connection while the MIC and Headphone jacks are designed to be routed out the rear of the case and connected directly to a sound card.

The side portion of the Sunbeam Samurai Gaming Case features a complex window reminiscent of several other pre-modified panels. The overall size of the window allows for a clean view to the interior portion of the case and is secured from behind via a set of black pop rivets. An 80mm fan mount paired with a laser cut tribal style fan grill is located towards the rear of the panel. Unfortunately, this current revision of the Sunbeam Samurai Gaming Case does not include a fan installed. This fan mount is ideal for those wanting to implement additional case or video card cooling.
