| The Motherboard Tray |
One of the highlights of this product is its removable motherboard tray. By removing for small screws present on the rear panel you can remove the motherboard tray and the whole rear part of the case by pulling the handle present on the rear panel. Usually on cases with removable motherboard trays the rear part of the case stays attached to the case.  click to enlarge Figure 13: Removing the motherboard tray.
Since on this case the rear part of the case is attached to the motherboard tray and is also removed, you don’t need to uninstall daughter boards like video cards in order to remove the motherboard. Also, you don’t even need to remove the tray entirely from the case, so you can pull it just a little bit if you want to. On Figure 14 you can see the tray removed from the case. We loved this tray, as you can build your computer with the tray removed from the case, where we have a lot of room to work, and then simply install the tray back to the case after finishing building the PC.  click to enlarge Figure 14: Motherboard tray.
On Figure 14 you can see the rear 120-mm fan and the screwless mechanism used to hold daughter boards to the case (see a close-up on Figure 15). The rear fan uses a 4-pin connector and is installed on the ESA module, meaning that you can monitor and control its speed using the ESA software provided by nVidia.  click to enlarge Figure 15: Screwless mechanisms to hold daughter boards.
