Features Continued...

     There is a good selection of ports available on the front. Front Mounted USB ports always come in handy for the gamer that enjoys using game pads. My first PC only had one USB port available on the back of the case, so this is a nice change. I enjoyed using my game pad to play games but also had a USB printer, so I had to constantly change from my printer to my pad, which got to be quite the nuisance. The IEEE 1394 port is also a nice addition since most portable music devices and camcorders are Firewire compatible these days. That could be a good feature for those of you that like to encode/decode video. There is also one available spot to add another Firewire port if you desire.  I wish Kingwin would've thought to include a cover for the port that is not in use. If you are like me holes in my case do not make me happy.

     I really love the "hidden compartment" for your drives. There are four available and for a user like me that number is perfect. This is a great feature when little kids are just learning about CDs. :)  The door that swings open is very flimsy though, I would be afraid to leave it open at anytime. With all the burning I do I imagine opening and closing time after time could get annoying. Also notice how the wires just hang out in the lower edge of the door.  It really would have been great if Kingwin would've thought of sleeving these, although sleeving would add to the cost of this case which is relatively inexpensive given the overall workmanship for a case in this price range..  Also, notice the reset button in the lower corner.  I enjoy having a reset button, it gives me a little more control.

     The side LED fan is a beauty. If you would like to buy rights to this picture then you can contact me at... :)
