The iStar Nitro AX is a full tower steel computer chassis based on a very familiar and accessible internal layout; drives are caged on sliding rails up front, panels and doors are tool free and there's more than a few nods towards reducing computer noise. We have all suffered a noisy hard drive or loud cooling fans at some point in the past, so it is nice to see mainstream PC chassis like the Nitro AX with parts that help to address this. The case stands 21" tall, and will house five 3.5" hard drives in sliding trays. The trays are mounted at 90 degrees to the motherboard, so hard drives can be removed from a fully installed system without first pulling out the videocards, or memory modules first. On top of that convenience, the hard drives each rest on four rubber mounting points which help absorb vibrations and prevent them from being transmitted to the rest of the chassis.
