There are also grills for passive cooling of the hard drive rack. You'll notice that the bottom 5.25" bay has an included adapter. This lets you mount an extra fan if you feel your drives need active cooling (most don't).

Here's the pair of 120mm exhaust fans at the top. After leaving the case, the air is pushed slightly towards the rear and comes out of the black exhaust vent shown earlier.

Then there's the 120mm exhaust fan next to the I/O shield. No matter what the airflow design is within a case, having a fan removing hot air as close to the vital components as possible is still the way to go, so it looks like this one's here to stay.

The fun part is in the installation. The first order of business is the power supply. 1 minute and it's in.

Next it's a good idea to add the motherboard (with CPU, heatsink, and RAM already pre-installed). Cooler Master provides a sheet with labeled holes for various form factors, though it's just as easy to line it up yourself and add the standoffs that way. Just remember to remove the paper before you actually install the board.

A few more minutes and it's in.
