Once you open the case sides you notice the large motherboard area to install an m-ATX or ATX motherboard. The motherboard tray is not removable; however there is a large hole where the CPU bracket is installed on the motherboard. This allows the user to remove the holding bracket without removing the motherboard off the case. Moving to the drive bays there are five 5.25" drive bays for optical drives or FDDs. An adapter for FDD is installed on the bottom 5.25" bay but you can install another 5.25" drive if you need it as every function of the FDD can be done by a flash USB drive or CD/DVD-ROM. Below the 5.25" drive bays is the HDD rack. There are five 3.5" removable HDD racks. Pull them out install the HDD and push them back into place for installation. All the drives are mounted without the use of tools with a button to lock the DVD drive into place. The system has a rear mounted 120mm fan, a 200mm top fan and a 140mm bottom fan mount. The bottom fan mounting grill can also take a 120mm fan with dust filter. The front of the HDD rack has another 120mm fan. The final fan mount is a 200mm fan that can be mounted on the side panel. All in all, the Sniper has more than adequate ventilation for even the hard-core gamer. The rear of the case has 7 PCI slots for expansion cards. One thing notable about the expansion slots is the use of plastic clips to hold the cards into place. You can also install a screw for added security. Above those is another slot with a black holder called StormGuard. This holder can be used for wire management in the case and secures devices through locking the wires into place inside the case. The bottom of the case is where the PSU is located.
