Yeong Yang YY-5603 Mars Computer Case (cont.)Exterior:
The Mars case is primarily made of steel except for the front face which is made of plastic. Upon ordering, the Mars can be customized to have a silver face with black side vents, transparent silver face with red side vents, or red face with silver side vents (the one in this review).
The front control panel, located in the top front corner, features a power and reset buttons; power and HDD LEDs; two USB ports; one Firewire port; and speaker and microphone ports.
Below the control panel is a single, exposed 3.5" drive bay covered by a red bezel. Below that are four exposed 5.25" drive bays, each covered with a curved bezel. Unlike other cases, these bezels are designed to blend in perfectly with the design of the case's face. It is a shame to have to remove them to install drives. Needless to say, stealthing is a must. The whole red face of the case is curved and looks like it is wrapped around the front.
On the left, right, and bottom sides of the red face are gray vents. The intake fan mainly draws air from the big bottom vent and from the lower side vents.
Removing the face reveals a dust filter attached to the bottom half of the inside plastic face. The one 3.5" and lower three 5.25" bays are each covered with a steel bezel. Below the 5.25" bays is an empty purple snap-in 120mm fan cage.
The top, bottom and two side panels are painted black steel. The bottom of the computer case features rubber feet for a none-slip grip onto the surface where the case will be placed.
On the right panel is a circular vent that is located off center to the top left. This is directly over where the CPU normally is located. Also, on the right panel is a locking mechanism that secures the panel close. Sliding the key-holed button down, causes the switch above it to pop up; thus, unlocking the case. A pair of keys is included to lock the mechanism so the button will not slide down.
The back of the case features the standard assortments. A standout feature is the huge fan vent that accommodates the 120mm exhaust fan. The left panel is secured by two screws and the right panel is secured by two thumb screws.
