    Two side panels come off easily when two tabs behind the case is depressed. The side panels will slide back a couple of inches and then all you have to do is lift up the panel, exposing the interior of the case. Reattachment of the case is the same, just in reverse. The right panel of the case will not be used much because the left panel exposes the entire case. The left panel is plated on the inside with a tin layer of aluminum to shield users from electromagnetic interference.

    The front bezel of the computer has 3 5.25” openings, 1 3.5” and 1 made just for the floppy drive. This is a good touch to make the case more appealing to the eye, hiding most of the ugly floppy drive. The proprietary slot for the floppy should fit most modern floppy drives. It will not fit with zip drives, orb drives, and others like those. The other notable features of the front are 2 buttons, one large power button and one smaller reset button below it. There are only two lights on this case; the power and the hard drive light. Removing the front plate of the case wasn’t easy, as you had to press on 4 tabs in the inside of the case to remove it. The good news is that no one really needs to remove the front because all drives should fit through the bezel.

    The Yuri came with all necessary screws for hard drive, CD-ROM, and motherboard installation, including a good supply of extra screws in case you lose a couple. The Yuri gives users the standard 7 bays…. 3 5.25” external, 2 3.5” external, and 2 3.5” internal. The internal bays are removable via a screw and a sliding tab inside of the case, allowing for easy hard drive installation. The other drives cannot be taken out of the case, as they are part of the frame. A unique feature to note is that the case only accepts place screws in the left side, so when you are screwing into place a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, you do not place screws on the right side of the frame, this is why removing the right panel of the case is not necessary. This is both good and bad… good because it doesn’t take as long to install drives as it used to, bad because I noticed the CD-ROM makes the case shake because of the high speed and limited support that it given to the drive with only 2 screws on the left side. One other thing that I noticed about its interior structure was that I didn’t get cut. After I test a case or even open one up just for the heck of it, I get at least a cut. I just opened my other case up to take out a drive and I got cut by the edges on the bottom of the case. With the Yuri, it is not easy to get cut because the sharp edges inherent to other cases are not present here. The edges around the drive bays and the panels are all rounded so you wont get any bad cuts from this case. Also on the inside is a 80mm fan for air intake in the front bottom. Ventilation openings are present in the front bottom of the case and in the back, above the I/O shield space, leaving room for a couple of exhaust fans that should fit well although there are no indications that the case needs them.
