Here is a shot of the included 80mm front fan rated at 2000RPM @ 19dBA as well as the twin 60mm fans that are rated at
2500 RPM @ 19dBA, and the chassis intrusion switch just above the left hand 60mm fan. Notice how the front fan is only
secured by two screws at the top with no screws securing the bottom portion of the fan. The pigtails for the fans are
the 4-pin molex type only. Thermaltake did not include any 4-pin to 3-pin adapters, for those consumers that wish to
use their motherboard headers and utilize automatic thermal control or manual control by way of a fan controller.

A couple of internal pictures of the case, the two cross braces provide extra strength to the case as well as providing
spots for various pieces of hardware. I will go into further detail during the installation portion of this review.

Installation:
After spending a few minutes going over the layout of the case, I determined that the VFD would be easier to install
first as the front fascia needs to be removed to accomplished this. There are five spring tabs that hold the front
fascia on, that are easier to access with the cross braces and Floppy/HDD cage removed. With the front fascia off we
can see on the backside the location for the VFD, the case switches, on front I/O panel.
