Installation:
Installation of the components into this case was fairly standard for a micro ATX case.

The first item I usually mount is the power supply, being as it a heavy item and you really don't want to accidentally drop it onto the motherboard if you install it later with your case laying on it's side. The only problem I encountered with this case actually occurred while mounting the power supply. On the sheet metal at the top of the opening where the power supply sits is a curved loop of metal that hangs down. This metal curve may be intentionally placed
there to press against the power supply and make it sit tightly in the case, but in may case it actually prevented my power supply from sliding all the way back to accept the mounting screws. This was easily fixed by turning the case onto it's top, placing a screwdriver onto this curved metal loop and hitting it with a hammer to flatten it a little bit. The power supply easily slid all the way to the rear so I could install the mounting screws.

The next item I installed was the motherboard. I find that in some micro cases, as with this case, you have to put the front edge of the motherboard in first and tuck it under the drive bays before sliding it back towards the rear of the case to mate with the rear connection cover plate. All the mounting holes lined up perfectly, and I installed the provided screws.

The next items to install are the optical drives, and floppy drive, if you have a floppy of course. These items mount very easily with the aid of the screwless mounting design. You just pull out the green coloured tabs, insert the drive, and push the green tabs back into place. These items are also easier to install through the front of the case with the front cover removed. In a micro ATX case there usually isn't enough room to mount drives from inside the case without hitting the CPU cooling assembly, so it best done through the front.

The last item to install is the hard drive. This is also very easily accomplished with the aid of the removable hard drive cage which this case offers. With this hard drive cage removed you can now gain full access to the power connector of the motherboard, so now is a good time to start your power supply wiring. The hard drive mounts with screws and does not use the screwless design. Actually, I fully agree with this practice. I believe that the hard drive should be mounted securely with screws to prevent vibration which could shorten the life span of the hard drive,
especially with the higher speeds of some hard drives nowadays.

With the hard drive cage installed back into the case you can now finish the rest of the wiring. This will include the second power wire to the motherboard, power to the hard drive, power to the optical drive and floppy drive. Then you have your front panel wires such as power switch, power LED, hard drive LED, front USB, front firewire port, and front speaker and mic (if you use them). The only wiring left is the ribbon cable from the motherboard to the optical drive, the SATA wire to your hard drive, and the case fan wire to a fan connector on the motherboard. This case also
provides a IR wire from the front of the case if your motherboard has this option.

With everything installed I then placed the right side cover back onto the chassis, then the front and rear covers after that to hold it in place.

After the rear wiring is finished to the motherboard such as keyboard, mouse, monitor, network connection, USB connections, speaker and mic connections, and of course the provided 90 degree power cord, you can then place the vented rear cover over these wires to hide this mess. The wires will be bent to run downwards behind this cover and exit in one bundle at the bottom of the case. If the case is placed on a desk with the rear of the case slightly over the edge then the wiring will pass very neatly down the desk towards the floor with no mess at the rear of the
computer. This will look very professional in an office setting, and very nice at home too of course. This rear cover can be left off the case as well, with the case showing no real evidence that anything is missing.
