Moving in for a closer look at the externals we can see the front is covered in a complete fascia of mesh. There is a metallic LEPA badge on the front of the LPC302 and at the top 4x 5.25 drive bays.
To the rear we have an opening at the bottom for mounting a PSU. Above this there are 7x PCI brackets A mesh panel for the 120mm rear exhaust fan and 3x circular rubber grommets at the top for tubing or even threading cables through as LEPA has already done with the USB3.0 cable.
The front and back of the LPC302
The front panel is directly on the top-side of the case and features the following connectivity:
E-SATA
USB3.0 Port
USB2.0 Port
Headphone + Microphone Jack
USB2.0 Port
Power/Reset buttons with corresponding LEDs
Note: The USB3.0 on the LPC302 is provided via a USB cable that needs to be plugged into the I/O on the motherboard not a USB3.0 header.
Behind this front panel we also have a docking station for 2.5 and 3.5 SATA 2 drives. If you dont wish to use this section for attaching a drive the SATA ports here have a protective cover so you could store any items such as keys/wallet etc.
Further back from the front panel we have the continuation of the front fascia desin subtle mesh.

Finally, on the underside of LPC302 we have air/dust filters that cover both the PSU and the position where you would install an additional fan. These filters are easily removable from the bottom of the case and can be washed.
