Inside Unicorn (Cont’d)

Hardware Secrets Silver AwardThe middle support can be easily removed by pressing a plastic latch located on the left end; you don’t need to remove any screw. You can swing it to your direction like a door or you can completely remove it but pulling it up.

On Figure 11 you can have a better look on the 80-mm fan that is attached to this support and also the three plastic mechanisms to hold daughter boards in place. You need to adjust the height of each mechanism until you see that they are really holding each daughter board in place.

As we briefly mentioned, this case has a removable motherboard tray. This tray comes attached to the right side panel, but you can remove it from the panel, if you want to. We liked this tray as it helps a lot the process of building your PC. Part of the rear panel is also attached to this tray. The slots for installing daughter boards don’t use any kind of screwless mechanism to hold daughter boards, so you will have to use the regular screws here.

On the right side of the case there is a plastic frame for you to install an additional 80-mm fan that doesn’t come with the product. Note that the right panel has venting holes for this fan. The goal of this fan is to provide extra cooling for devices installed on the three 3 ½” bays located outside the hard disk drive cage. In most configurations you will have only a floppy disk drive installed there – if you still use this kind of Stone Age device.
