On the inside of the prominent side panel we have the 250mm LED fan. This has a molex connector and foam padding which acts as a dust/air filter. Being 3cm in thickness this fan may well cause interference with bigger CPU coolers but we will find this out later.

The HDD cages within SpineRex have brackets attached to them. These needs to be removed and attached to each drive you wish to install. Getting these cages out requires you to remove drive bay covers at the front and then 4 screws holding in each fan. When the fan is successfully removed you can then slid the HDD cage out through the front.
Each of the cages here have 120mm Vegas fans attached for cooling. These fans have the ability (similar to the Hoplite we recently reviewed) of changing colour and orientation.

Finally, I also took off the optical drive bay cover to give you an idea of what they are like. Foam on the inside and plastic clips on the edge. Getting these covers on and off is very easy.
