From the front you can see where the Warrior case gets its name from; the chrome on the front kind of reminds you of a Transformer robot if you are old enough to remember back that far . From the open door shot you can see four 5 ½ inch bays and the two 3 ½ inch exposed bays, there are two more internal 3 ½ inch bays.

Here is a look at the side of the Warrior case, just looks like a window with mesh and a side fan right? Well it is far from your standard window as you will soon see below, push a hidden switch located in the bottom front of the case and it really lights up.

Well the pictures really don't do this cool side panel any justice. The led's on the side fade from one color to the other holding each color a couple seconds each. But the transformation from one color to the other causes some interesting colors combinations.

Above is a close up shot of the front hidden button I was telling you about for turning on and off all the led lights. Also located here are two USB 2.0 ports and an audio in and out port. As you can see the firewire port is marked on the case but no port is available.

The rear of the case is nothing special except for one thing, a place for two rear 80mm case fans. The second picture shows the inside back of the case and as you can see E-Power has chosen to include only one 80mm case fan. They choose only one fan to keep noise down and cost but left room to place a second fan if needed.

Moving to the rest of the inside of the case you can see it is pretty much a standard steel tower. The second picture is of a close up of where the front fan should be. But for some reason E-Power choose not to install one, but you can buy a 120mm case fan and install one yourself. Front case fans in today's high heat processors and components are a must; you can run with out a front intake fan but take a higher risk of parts dying from excessive heat.
