</h1> <p align="left"><strong>Interior:</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/22.JPG"><img src="atruereview/cooler_master/22th.JPG" alt=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " title=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " width="250" height="254" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">Pulling off the side panel revealed the inside of Cooler Master's Ammo case. It is different from the insides of cases from the past. Unfortunately, the motherboard panel is not removable, which is a nice feature of some cases. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/14.JPG"><img src="atruereview/cooler_master/14th.JPG" alt=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " title=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " width="182" height="250" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">The back of Cooler Master's case can support up to a 120mm fan as mentioned before. Above the fan is the PSU cage. What is good about this cage is there are two solid tabs that the PSU rests on. Most cases give a single dinky tab and rely on the screws to hold the PSU in. I have never had an incident with one of these cases, but always worry; therefore, it was nice to see that Cooler Master added some extra protection. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/19.JPG"><img src="atruereview/cooler_master/19th.JPG" alt=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " title=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " width="250" height="118" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">Below the PSU are the expansion slots. They are tool-less. The part that holds the card in is made of black plastic. To unlock, push down on the tab that is on the bend. The black plastic piece then will rotate to an open position. Install the card, then rotate back. The tabs seemed to hold a video and sound card securely that I added to the case. As long as there is a small gap between the board of the expansion card and the metal bracket, the clip will work, or if the card is short. If the clip does not work, a screw can be used to hold the card in as well. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/15.JPG"><img src="atruereview/cooler_master/15th.JPG" alt=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " title=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " width="210" height="250" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p align="left">All the wires from the front of the case and external panel on the side are neatly clipped together in a wire clip. The USB cables have a keyed bracket on the end so they will plug into the motherboard. This is better than trying to pin out all the wires. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/16.JPG"><img src="atruereview/cooler_master/16th.JPG" alt=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " title=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " width="250" height="149" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p align="left">Installing drives is easier with the front facing removed. Unlike some cases, Cooler Master made this step easy. The front of the Ammo case pulls right off. It reveals metal removable tabs for the drives and an air vent down bottom for the large 120mm fan.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/13.JPG"><img src="atruereview/cooler_master/13th.JPG" alt=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " title=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " width="120" height="250" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">Side locking rails are used to lock in 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 inch drives. To install a drive, slide the drive into a slot. It will rest on little metal tabs. Align the drive's screw holes with the holes in the side of the rail. I used an old CD ROM I had to see if it would work. Slide the white rail towards the front of the case. This takes a little bit of force. Little metal tabs will expand into the hole of the drive. Push down on the small white latch to lock the rail in. The drive is now secure in its bay. I pulled on the drive but could not get it to move; therefore, this idea seems to work very well. They only down side to these types of systems is the drive facing might not be fully flush with the front of the case. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/18.JPG"><img src="atruereview/cooler_master/18th.JPG" alt=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " title=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " width="190" height="250" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p align="left">Hard drives are mounted sideways in a cage below the locking rails. They are located behind a 120mm fan that will keep them cool. To install, take the include rails (shown later), and push them into the drive's screw holes. The drive now slides into the bay and locks in. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/17.JPG"><img src="atruereview/cooler_master/17th.JPG" alt=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " title=" Cooler Master Ammo Case " width="250" height="213" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p align="left">Other accessories included with the case are screws to mount a power supply and motherboard. White rails as mentioned before are included to mount the hard drives. Also, included is an instruction manual, but it is not really needed. Although I did reference it once when installing a CD ROM because I felt I was using too much pressure to move the rail. It informed me that I was doing it right, so I tugged a little harder and everything worked out. </p> <table width="100%" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <td scope="col"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/ammo_case.php"></a> <a href="cooler_master/ammo_case.php">Previous (Exterior)</a> </td> <td width="62%" scope="col"><div align="right"><a href="atruereview/cooler_master/ammo_case3.php"></a> <a href="cooler_master/ammo_case3.php">Next (Final Touches & Conclusion)</a> </div></td> </tr> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer">  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
