The left and right side panels include small indentations for easy removal and are affixed to the case using high quality chrome thumbscrews. The rear portion of the case includes a standard PSU cut out with mounting holes, room to install your ATX I/O backplate for your motherboard and slots to install your PCI and AGP expansion cards.

The Noblesse Electric Blue case can handle any type of standard sized PSU. No slide out clip mount for the PSU is included and if you intend to use the Enermax dual fan style PSU's, it will have to be mounted from inside the case. Depending on the type of motherboard installed, there is 7 PCI/AGP slots ready for use. The tabs covering the slots can be easily removed once the motherboard has been mounted.

Side panel security lock clip

The design of the Noblesse case perfectly accommodates those who are into case modification scene. Unlike most standard cases such as the Antec 1030SX, the top panel is not riveted to the chassis. Using a Phillips screwdriver to remove the top panel, you can easily add in a top exhaust blowhole to aid in cooling performance. Another nice addition is a security-locking clip, which is secured to the chassis using two screws. The left side panel slips over the security-locking clip and by using a simple bolt lock can prevent anyone from opening up your case and removing your hardware. The idea of the security locking clip is very good in the short term, but keep in mind that it will not stop anyone who is really determined to steal your case.
