The inside layout reflects this change as well. With the
ability to run 10 separate drives in the front plus the two bays above the power
supply, the massive part of the Masstige becomes apparent.
Lets take a closer look at the front bay structure. The
mesh bay covers can be removed easily using two snap outs making the entire
drive install tool-less. Even the mounting for the 120mm up front can be
relocated to best match the desired airflow. This case is also marketed as
the "Bay Dream" in some markets, an equally appropriate name.
The back layout for the ATX install looks like any traditional
install from the inside. AeroCool has provided a quad LED 120 mm fan for
your cooling needs. This space will also hold a twin set of 80 mm fans.
The two internal drive bays are also tool-less, both use a
traditional locking rail.
The Masstige comes with enough drive mountings to handle every
bay. They have even provided three adapters to mount 3.5" drives in the
front locations.
With the power supply located on the bottom of the case, a
mesh vent is required to allow airflow into the power supply from the bottom of
the case. The major advantage of this placement is to isolate the heat
from the power supply in a separate area.
To control cooling for the internal bays, AeroCool uses three
80 mm fans. These fans move a lot of air across the drives and also keep
heat from rising into the main area from the power supply. The use of
three fans allows them to run at a lower speed to reduce noise.
