The BeanTech Igloo 11 Aluminum 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 emphasis tool-less design; BeanTech has used a series of thumbscrews to attach the all the
panels and drive bays.

The BeanTech Igloo 11 Aluminum Case includes what is now a new trend amongst case manufacturers, the
inclusion of a pre-modified window on the side panel. The window deploys no complicated design and uses
8 screws to support a sheet of UV green acrylic aligned on the outside of the case. I would have
preferred to see Beantech utilize a cleaner look for this panel by mounting the window inside the case
and without the use of support screws. For those individuals who do not want the window mounted on the
outside, removing the support screws and reversing the direction of the window can easily correct this
problem.

Once the side panel has been removed, the case interior offers ample room and can handle just about any
type of hardware configuration supporting a wide variety of ATX motherboard formats. The PSU mount is
comprised of both horizontal and vertical tabs which support the bulk of the weight in this area.
Consumers who utilize dual fan PSU models or modular PSU's will have no problem installing these units
inside the Igloo 11. Positioned directly in front of the PSU mount are 4 x external 5.25" drive bays,
which are suitable for mounting optical devices. The external drive bays used an adjustable locking
mechanism that keeps optical drives in place once installed.
