Out and InsideThe vCase3 front is made from black brushed aluminum without any LCD/VFD displays. On button and a reset button plus 2 leds for power on and HDD activity. If u use this HTPC case you mostly connect it to a LCD/LED TV/Display and all info will be on that. More important is how it looks together with your receiver/amplifier or any other products to get the sound/video going.
Keeping it simply fit most perfectly as long those are black.
May I show you some pictures before we get in the help troops and extra hands?

So is this all? No way, hidden behind a flip door we find 2 USB ports and a card reader for most common cards today. And 2 similar LEDs as we already have.

By removing 6 screws the top will go off and we have access to the inside.

On left side we find a 80mm fan and at the right side lots of open holes, like on the cover. Even above the IO shield place plenty ventilation holes are made.
This case is made extremely anti noise. Like the top cover has damping foam to prevent vibration noises. The whole HDD/Drive mounting system is for same reason. Very simply mechanism for 3 HDD's and the Optical drive.
A kid can do this, speaking of that let's bring in my assistant. She can inspect this case for me and hopefully give it a child friendly advice.

Already happy with the small weight ( no hardware installed ) she started to have a look inside.

And this means using eyes and hands. I already checked for sharp edges or she wasn't allowed. Never the less same verdict as her daddy. Well designed child hand friendly case.
Time to make this case into a real HTPC… but my assistant needed her beauty sleep first.
