- This seems to be quite a stable little box, although one of the original Western Digital Caviar hard disks was getting flaky around the higher cylinders.
- The motherboard has one bus socket, into which plugs a shaky daughterboard sporting all the PCI/ISA slots.
- Fans are fitted to both the PSU and the front of the chassis - neither of which are particularly quiet about it.
- Perplexing case - two screws on the top of the front of the box hold the chassis in place, which slides out the back of the case.
- 'Protective' sliding front panel cover.
- Dodgy spring mechanism removed from sliding front cover.
