Not Much Lurks Behind This Large Front-Panel Door
Not Much Lurks Behind This Large Front-Panel Door

The panel latch is easy to access and open
The accessible, user-friendly front-panel latch featured in the previous model remains on the 350G. In fact, the front panel door and a large portion of the case itself can be swung up out of the way, thereby simplifying installation of the remaining hardware. The interior of the case is surprisingly roomy, with space for an optical drive and a couple of 3.5" hard disks. The connection cables are well organized and routed, and partially anchored with well-placed cable ties. Placement and availability of interfaces and card slots on the motherboard cause minor concerns, however. Although the chipset supports up to four Serial ATA drives, only two SATA connectors are provided, with the other two apparently left off. This makes using an external SATA or an eSATA drive impossible unless you install an additional SATA controller card.
