The front portion of the MGE Extreme Gamer Quantum Case features a thick aluminum door, which contributes to the sleek front appearance. A fastened aluminum plate boasts the Quantum name in embossed letters and can be found at the top of the front door. One of the more predominant features of the MGE Extreme Gamer Quantum Case can be found towards the bottom portion of the front bezel. The advanced LCD controller is a full color unit that is capable of controling up to 7 fans, time, date and multiple temperature display. A series of 7 buttons are used to navigate and set the required parameters within the LCD control center.

The MGE Extreme Gamer Quantum Case is capable of accommodating up to five 5.25" based devices and comes standard with one bay ready for usage. Opening of the front door reveals that the front bezel of the case is standard plastic found on the majority of mid-tower cases currently on the market. A total of two external 3.5" bays are ready for use with the basic Power and Reset buttons located to the right. Consumers should note that the front door does sit flush against the drive bays which prohibits the installation of any bay devices which may protrude such as fan controllers and audio interfaces.

The bottom portion houses a single 80mm intake fan which has been outfitted with a stylish mesh and chrome trim. I did note that the intake vent does not line up with the actual fan secured to the chassis. Removing the bezel reveals the off center 80mm fan mount complete with a basic filter system to eliminate any dust. Also present on the front of the chassis is the internal side panel locking mechanism, which prevents the side panels from being removed when in locked position.
