External View Continued:

The side of the case is dominated by a large mesh hiding the third 230mm fan.  Much like the top, the side also has a multitude of extra mounting holes, this time allowing buyers to replace the 230mm fan with four 120mm fans.  Above the mesh, we have a smaller window with smoke tinting and a diamond pattern.  "HAF" appears as a glossy black emblem on top of the flat black paint of the case.  Here it is easier to see thanks to the camera flash; otherwise it is only visible when viewed under the right light or the right angle. 

Here is another look at the inside of the case panel; here we can get a much better view of the mounting holes. 

With the side panel removed, we can now take a closer look at the innards.  On the back end, we can see both of the power supply panels; the one on the bottom is currently open, the one on the top has the water cooling tubing plate.  Switching between the two is quite easy.

The PCI brackets on the rear panel are not only toolless, they are also a nice black mesh designed to assist in airflow. 

Here is a quick look at the drive bays; on top the optical drives are secured with a push-button mechanism, and on the bottom we have trays that slide out for the hard drives.

On the bottom of the case, we have another mounting bracket for two more 120mm fans, or possibly a 2x120mm radiator, though it probably is not the most ideal location for one.  There is also a riser stand for the PSU, should one decide to install it on the bottom.

Finally, I want to show off the motherboard tray.  The tray has several well placed cutouts that should not only assist with cabling, but should allow heatsinks to be easily swapped out without removing the motherboard, even heatsinks with their own backplate.
