The open air case allows unprecedented airflow. A front 92mm fan and a top three speed 250mm fan with multicolor LED customization let the Skeleton stay cool in the hottest conditions. Front-mounted ports give you easy access to an eSATA port, two USB 2.0 connectors, one IEEE 1394 connector, and audio jacks.
You'll have all the room you need to build your dream system in this case, with bays for two external 5.25" drives and two internal 3.5" drives. Plus, you can add 4 more 3.5" drives with the optional side panel mounted drive trays. There's space for a standard ATX motherboard, and eight expansion slots support multiple graphic card solutions, including NVIDIA 3-way SLI. This wonderful case has everything you need to build your white hot gaming system!

Skeleton Reflections
- Pros: Great eqyuipment accessability and a rather novel approach to computer component displaying and mounting. The fan is very quiet and moves a large volume of air. Big CPU heat sinks are probably not needed with this unit.
- Cons: All is OK thus far!!
- Other Thoughts: Before undertaking this project, it is important to think it through and have a plan in mind as to how you want to route your cables and mount equipment, etc.
Sweet Little Case
- Pros: Very cool looking, excellent air flow, all components are visible, sliding/removable MB tray, love the locking mechanisms for HDD and Optical drives
- Cons: Plastica PCI retainer kind of cheap but secures as cards are installed, the area under the MB tray can get very conjusted with power supply cables, front panel cables could be a little longer... nothing major tho
- Other Thoughts: Overall - Awesome case and sparks interests from all that see it!
FYI - a zalman 9500 WILL fit into this case with no modifications IF you orient the fan so that it blows air towards the I/O panel on the MB. If you orient it correctly the cooler will have around 1cm of clearance.
Great case and display piece
- Pros: Open design with the big fan means ALOT cooler NB, CPU, and graphics card. I took my e5200 OC'd, with a ninja mini heatsink already on it. and a 7900GT card, pulled from tower, put in this case and my cpu drops 6 deg and gpu dropped 16 DEG!
- Cons: A bit hard to plan all the wire and run to make it look nice but well worth it.
- Other Thoughts: Buying the mini itx version when I get a chance just to make a little bro pc. People always ask about it as soon as they see it.
