it looks like lit up still very clean and very plain looking that's the only Lighting on the case the door opens up where we can find inside the the one I haven't installed any aftermarket fans or anything so it only has the one stock black and white fan and then I've installed one DVD drive for this particular demo system and you can't really look through there and see the hard drives but that's okay all right so why don't we get this open here I've uh I have not used their modu vent feature because this is supposed to be a silent build that is how the case is targeted and marketed so I've left all of the noise deadening materials on the extra ventilation holes all right so I'm taking off that heavy side panel because it's got all of that sound deadening material inside so the inside of this case is actually really clever it did not take me long to do this build and I was able to do a very tidy job as you can see of the cable management so I'm not using a modular power

can see that they've coated it here A is for 3 and 1/2 in B is for 2 and 1/2 in hard drive or SSD so you can see that I've installed in this case one SSD drive which is mounted just the same way a normal drive would be and then one 3 and 1/2 in 1 tbte Western Digital black drive so I thought that was one of one of the cleverer things about this particular chassis so thank you for checking out my little demo build here in the Define R2 case"}
