Phantom Exterior Continued
Moving towards the top of the case, the first thing to see is the fan controller panel. Each slider corresponds to a certain fan (which have similar labels on the wires as well as the manual), and it controls how much voltage goes to each fan. The two top exhausts (if you install a second top exhaust) and the two side intakes are both wired together out of the box, so the slider for the top fans controls both of them and the slider for the side fans controls both of them.
Moving to the left side you see the front panel controls and audio jacks. There is also a pair of USB ports and an eSATA jack. One rather unfortunate thing for a case of this caliber is that these are the only two USB jacks on the case proper.
Moving back, you can see the monster mesh screen hiding away the 200mm fan underneath. The pattern inlaid into the mesh is pretty cool looking and a similar one is found on the 200mm fan mount on the left side of the case.
Moving down the left side of the case, you can see the rather large mesh screen roughly positioned where the hard drive bays area as well as a much larger one near the CPU which has mounts for a 200mm fan. Out of the box, the smaller mesh has a pair of 120mm drives mounted which are already wired to be controlled by the fan controller. This is a pretty good idea if you have the type of drives that run really hot (things like VelociRaptors, as an example).
The right side of the case is blank with the exception of a mirrored version of the hard drive vent placed in the same location.
