At the rear of the case you can see that there's a place to install an 80mm exhaust fan, this can be used as an extractor fan, also the cooling duct which is provided with the Vos32 can be installed here, this is a high height area which can be used to remove the hot air out of the case, the side panel is held on by two thumbscrews, which can be undone easily and the panel just slides to the left and then up

The parts box that comes lots of screws and all the mount supplied had all the relevant panel's and screws included. If you loose a couple you'll still have spare. One clever solution they have found, and because the front of the case is curved it makes the cd rom drives look out of place, however they have also solved this by including side panels which snap into place at the sides of the 5¼ devices, and it makes it look more professional
