In terms of looks we certainly like it. The mesh sections not only help it to stand out visually, but also allows for good ventilation. Build quality is excellent with only slight and expected flex in the side panels and mesh sections. There are now only four 5. The buttons offer a positive click, and the reset button is small and recessed preventing accidental presses.
These are actually a step back from its predecessor, as FireWire has been dropped. The USB ports are sensibly spaced with the headphone and microphone jacks between them, leaving room enough for even the thickest memory sticks. Behind the buttons and connections is a removable transparent cover that reveals a sloped tray for 3. This brings us across our first minor complaint with the CM II Advanced as the left panel is quite difficult to remove, requiring more force than should be necessary.
The CM II has two mm fans and a single mm fan already installed, which should be adequate for most setups. Below the 5. It has attractive blue backlighting that can be turned on or off with the aforementioned button. As this front fan is an intake, it features a removable dust filter. To clean the filter you can remove the entire front of the case, which simply comes off with a slight pull and clicks back in just as effortlessly.
Though the top mm fan blows air out, it too is protected by a removable filter as is the entire mesh top of the case to prevent dust getting in when the PC is not in use. You can install a second mm fan in front of it too, and again you can remove the entire top section to access the fan and filter.
Just above the final mm fan at the back we have two rubber-edged holes for water cooling tubes of up to 2. All pre-installed fans have three-pin power connections to hook up to your motherboard and come with attached four-pin throughput adapters if you want to power them from the PSU. Speaking of water-cooling, you can install a two-fan radiator either at the top or bottom of the case. Plastic rivets for only one extra fan are provided. Written by Joe Martin.

Maybe this motherboard doesn't contain a processor under the V6GT. Judas Nice looking case This looks quite nice, the mixture of green and black is tastefully done unlike with the HAF-X.
