Now what would a high end case be without some noise optimizations? This is the first time I've seen noise canceling foam pre-installed on a readily available case. It's extremely well integrated and because the case is so wide it never even comes close to other components. Needless to say this reduces noise levels significantly, making this one of the quietest cases on the market even with 4x 120mm fans included (with space for a 5th).
The first look inside is very promising. Not only is there enough room inside to fit a small child, but the expansion options are great. 6x 3.5" bays is more than enough even for a serious server, let alone a PC. You'll also notice a bottom mounted intake gizmo and what appears to be a card adapter. Let's take a peek.
The fan duct is there for one purpose only: to redirect airflow from those hot SLI monsters to the rear of the case and get it out of there quick. The duct is held in place by a large clip.
Here's the view of the card exhaust grill from the inside of the case once the fan duct is removed.
And here's the duct flipped upside down. The perpendicular piece of plastic is there to help push the air out rather than allowing it to flow back into circulation within the case. If card cooling isn't a problem, you can always leave this piece off.
