BitFenix Neos Mid-Tower Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 10 years ago
Interior
With the side panel removed we see that the interior has been treated to the same powder black paint job as the exterior. There is a small CPU cooler mounting cut-out behind the motherboard, and most of the mounting spacers for the motherboard are built-in to the back plate.
A small ventilation section in the bottom allows for inverted PSU mounting, which draws air from a small dust filter on the underside of the chassis.
In the back you’ll find a single 120mm fan, with a standard 3-pin connector.
There are three 5.25″ drive bays in the front, although the top one is purposely blank, the bottom two feature quick release mechanisms and there are two removable covers on the front panel to allow installation of optical drives and similar devices.
There are two hard drive bays, each featuring three drive trays, the top three a for 2.5″ drive, the bottom three for 3.5″ or 2.5″ drives.
Around the back of the motherboard there is little space for cable routing, but a large bottom cut-out and some space behind the hard drive bays should prove more than enough to make use of the various cable routing cut-outs that surround the motherboard.
Behind the front panel you’ll find space for two 120mm fans, which aren’t included, so you may want to invest in at least one fan to help improve airflow and cooling within the case.
