Default Nexus Caterpillar Case Review

We have a new review up on the Nexus Caterpillar case; a new offering from Nexus that promises to offer a silent home for your components. Here is a snip from the review: Opening the case I was greeted by an interesting and, to me, unique layout . Two things that got my eyes to widen a bit were the noise absorption material around the interior and the placement of the hard drive cage. Installed inside the case are two Nexus Real Silent 120mm fans, one placed at the lower front of the case as an intake and the other as an exhaust at the lower middle rear of the case. Having used Nexus fans before, I can tell you that they are quiet and adding to the silence both fans are mounted with rubber pins/rivets. I tryed to remove the front panel to get a good look at how the sliding door worked, but it was secured really tight and I couldn't get to the left side holding clips anddidn't want to break anything, I can tell you that its done with spring tension. The interior is almost completely covered in the sound wave foam including the removable side, the only place its missing is where the hard drive cage is located, where the power supply mounts and the front panel area.
