Project "O3-Station"

   We pass to inside view. VERY qualitative processing of drives basket edges. Here it is not just curling of edges but general curve of the steel. So pushing drives out does not threaten to get cuts. Besides, drives are installed on the carriage included in the complete set of the case. Right under them there are located two slots for installation of 2,5 inch devices - in case if you did not yet get rid of disk drives. However, there will be no problem to thrust card reader there. Further below there is a plastic panel of unknown purpose (even the instruction holds it back) and the removable basket for two hard disks. The place for installation of one more hard disk was found in the construction of support and installation of removable basket. And here there ate rather big negative sides of the case. Installation of hard disks is very dense, so the problem of their cooling will arise rather painful. Installation of the hard disk in the bottom case slot in general becomes complicated not only due to the care of cooling but also by obvious problems of apertures access, in spite of the fact that for work with a screwdriver there are made notches in the frame of the case so low. By design of engineers, the cooling of hard disks is fully charged with 80 mm fan in the front panel, which again needs to be installed from within, previously having removed the basket.
 
  
   Well, we shall pass to wires. Here I have only good impressions about concern for users.
The wire connecting front USB’s with motherboard is made on 4-contact socket, at that “minus” of power supply allocated to separate contact. All sockets are marked so it wouldn’t be a problem to connect them correctly subject to motherboard but most likely it will be necessary to use a tweezers in order to get them after installation of expansion boards. Contacts from control buttons are not just marked but also made so that there will be no problems with motherboard, since the contact “POWER LED” is made both on two and three contact socket. The wire for sound connection is also provided with two sockets with different interconnection of contacts - for AC97 and HD AUDIO. Power lead of illumination is provided with its own Molex-adapter with installed resistor.
