Eclipse & Mystic: Offbeat Cases from ThermalRock
Lateral And Inside Views
As is plain to see through the big side window, the interior is quite capable of accommodating significant hardware expansion. The aluminum gleams like something out of 1001 Arabian Nights; it's so shiny that you might think it was given an extra hand-polishing. Two different mounting cages are available for the 3.5" drives, and both can be removed for easier installation. Special rubber grommets and screws are used for the drives, ensuring acoustic decoupling. Plastic rails make it easier to install the larger 5.25" drives. Any expansion cards are installed without screws, plastic clips holding them snugly in place. Two 120mm fans keep the air moving inside the case, with the front fan drawing in the air and the rear fan pushing it out the back. Both fans operate at just under 1,000 RPM and are extremely quiet.
