Inside El Diablo Advance
Contents
The side panels are fastened to the chassis using thumbscrews, which is great. Even though you can remove the right panel, the motherboard tray is permanently attached to the chassis.
This case has a big 330-mm fan (using 300-mm blades) attached to its left panel. As explained this fan has an on/off switch and a speed control knob, which are located on the front panel of the unit. The left panel is meshed, which surely helps with the airflow.

Daughter boards are fastened to the case using individual thumbscrews. In our opinion this is the best solution, as many screwless mechanisms for holding daughterboards use plastic with inferior quality breaking very easily.
