Gigabyte Aurora Case Review - PAGE 4
Andy Zen - Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

The Inside

As with most large cases, there is ample space inside for installation. In fact, there's so much room you should never have to worry about tight fits. The edges are all rolled off, ensuring no cuts during installation.

If you take a look at the image below, you'll notice that the front ports/button cables were secured onto the case, which is a nice touch. Unlike some older Thermaltake cases, we would actually be able to get neat cable management straight out of the box.

Toolbox

Initially, we had a hard time looking for the hard drive brackets and the like, but it turns out Gigabyte included a mini toolbox to the internal 3.5 inch bays. This toolbox could be useful, since all of us tend to lose screws and such here and there. The only case I've seen that has an external accessible toolbox would be the Antec Super Lanboy - now THAT is useful. However, you must consider that the only time you need to use a screw is to fiddle with the inside, in which case you would need to open up the case anyway.
