One pretty cool feature should you leave the bezel doors in place, is the use of a switch by Thermaltake, for an LCD lit display on the front of the case. You can either switch it fully on, or have it strobe. The display lights up the Thermaltake name located between the two clam shell bezels. I’ll include a picture of the switch and the display.

This image I snapped above is with the front LED lit fully, and the right side door closed.

It’s easy to see the classy effects of the back-lit blue LED fans in this picture snapped with the lights out (personally I really liked it and the fans were very quiet in operation, yet efficient.

Here is a side view of the system I installed running in the Kandalf case, below.

Before you call me remiss, here is a back plane shot of the case showing the features below. Note the key locks for the side window and how the power supply will be mounted in a vertical fashion. You can also clearly see the 4 cut-outs for the grommets used in water cooling applications below the keys and 12cm exhaust fan. Below that where the 120mm exhaust fan is, you can see mounting points for applications such as external radiators.

How does the power supply look when installed? Here is the Thermaltake PurePower 520W modular PSU installed in the case, picture enclosed below.

A view from the windowed side of the case, looking towards the installed Thermaltake PurePower 520W modular power supply.

Here is what the top of the power supply fan looked like while viewed from inside the chassis.

What is discernable is that air exhumed by the power supply fan will be sucked out by the adjacent 12cm fan as you can see in the picture above. When mounting a power supply there are 2 soft aluminum clips that the power supply must be pushed inside to get a firm mount. If done properly you will hear a click when the PSU is in proper position.

The case almost looks amoeba like from a top view, doesn’t it?

At this point there are just a couple more pictures I’d like to share with you all, to demonstrate specific points.

The aesthetically made windowed side panel levers up and releases from the front side of the case after the 2 window release buttons are engaged. It is easily done – which is a huge contrast from some tower cases where you must use force so you can slide the side panels off.
