The features

You can see two things in this picture (maybe more, but i'm only going to talk about two in this paragraph :D) One is the PC Speaker; no changes here, average run of the mill PC speaker and it is located at the bottom of the case where it is out of the way. Has factory pressed ventilation holes and hence is easy to hear from outside the case (the case has the average rubber feet so sits slightly off the ground). The second is the 3.5" Internal Drive bay.

A lot of manufacturers are beginning to include removable 3.5" Internal Drive bays in their cases, and Aopen are no exception. Simply remove one screw on the side of the bay and then slide the bay towards the back of the case. Next add your hard drive of choice (nothing special in our situation, just a 1.2GB Western Digital Caviar) and other devices then put the bay back in the case (in the reverse way to how it was removed).

Here you see the drive bay being screwed back into the case. The bay is actually quite well held in place once it is screwed in and will not fall off while your case is in transit. This may be a good time to point out that all the screw holes have little scribed labels explaining what their typical use is - ie HDD HDD then FDD FDD FDD. I'd take a photo of this but my crappy camera (Kodak DC3200) can't focus on anything within 1m (as you can see from the enlarged version of the above photo).

While we are on the subject of labels, lets take a closer look at the motherboard tray.
