This case was easy to work with according to Thrasher2 our resident system builder. Pulling backward on the bottom hole of the front panel, releases the front panel. After pulling the side doors out you press on both side clips and pull the drive bay forward. Pulling out the front cover is matter of pushing it backwards. Push the front cover back into place without the drive bay cover and slide the CD-ROM into place. To secure the CD-ROM simply use thumbscrews to hold it into place.

Once the drives are all installed the next step is to take out a HDD cage and slide the HDD into place. Fastening the HDDs into place with screws, the next step is to slide the HDD cage back into place. To fasten the HDD cage into place you use thumbscrews attach the cables and you are done. Installing the motherboard is the next step. With the raised platforms, it is simplicity itself to insert the motherboard, screw it into place. At this point install the PSU, connect everything and you are done.
