Introduction:
AzzAs Mission is simple, Your satisfaction is our success!
I am impressed with the overall design, and style of the AzzA Fantom 900 case.
It possesses many unique quality's that have not been included in any other case design. I especially like the removable HDD cage with the pre-mounted 140mm fan. The oversized 230mm fan on top, and the side panel design. The Fantom 900 case features a brushed aluminum finish, it includes a total of (4) fans that have been optimized for noise reduction.

The AzzA Fantom 900 case was delivered in a rectangular box
featuring the product design and specifications in high gloss on the packaging.

It includes an overly impressive graphic representation of the contents.

The case has been protected by styrofoam that has
been inserted on both ends to prevent shipping damage.

It is enclosed in a large clear plastic bag that protects the case
from scratches, and keeps it fresh inside the packaging.

The Fantom 900 case features a beveled side panel window
that surrounds the 230mm oversized side panel fan. It is a unique design.
As you can see it has been securely fastened to the side panel window mounting area.

Power and reset buttons are mounted on top of the case on the control panel bezel.
There are (4) USB Ports, (1) ¼”Microphone Jack, and (1) ¼”Headphone Jack, also mounted on the bezel.
It is conveniently located on the top of the case for easy access.

The front panel door features a brushed aluminum finish.
It includes the AzzA company logo which complements the front panel.
As you can see it is located at the top left of the front panel door.

The side panel features an over-sized 230mm fan that is covered by a honeycomb mesh fan guard.
As I mentioned before it includes an attractive beveled side panel window that allows you to peer inside the box.

The top features a 230mm exhaust fan that provides additional case ventilation.
It has been installed behind the vent area that is mounted on top of the case.

Here is a view behind the brushed aluminum door located on the front panel.
The door is sturdy and well constructed. It provides easy access to the 5 optical drive bays.

There is one 140mm fan installed on the front of the hard drive cage.
It effectively cools the hard drives and provides more than adequate case ventilation.
It serves as the intake fan for the front panel.

Here is an awesome profile view of the case.

On the rear of the case there are (2) 1” hose grommets that allow you to route your water-cooling hoses out of the back of the case chassis. The power supply receptacle is situated at the bottom of the case.

The side panel has been removed. One 230mm fan has been installed on the size panel. You also have the option of installing an additional 120mm fan on the bottom of the case chassis. I would like to point out there is also a grill on the bottom that provides ventilation to the power supply fan.

Here are the available drive bays. There is a total of ten drive bays to accommodate your drive selections.
Five External 5.25" Drive Bays, One External 3.5" Drive Bay, and Four Internal 3.5" Drive Bays.

There are (7) total expansion card slots. Each slot is covered by a standard expansion bay cover and attached to the chassis with one thumb screw. The power supply receptacle is situated on the bottom of the case below the expansion card slots.

The motherboard tray is much like any other it is non-removable, and
supports the following motherboard types: ATX, MICRO-ATX.

The hard drive cage is removable. There is (1) 140mm blue led fan installed on the front of the drive cage.
It can be adjusted within the chassis drive frame to accommodate your mounting preference.

A surplus of electronic hardware has been provided for your convenience.

You can see AzzA has pre-installed case feet. They are large enough
to effectively support the weight of the case, and internal hardware.

How come everyone puts no power supply as a con?
