Internal Details

The inside of the case is very similar to the original Cooler Master 201 although its lacking the top exhaust fan. With the top exhaust fan missing it doesn't really benefit much apart from the extra space for the "crows nest" of cables coming out of your power supply.

Even without the top exhaust fan the Cooler Master 201B still has 3 cooling fans. 2 intake fans (4 pin connectors) and 1 exhaust fan (3 pin connector). This is ample enough cooling to cool a powerful computer. The 2 intake fans are positioned behind the front grill. These intake fans are ideal for cooling down your hard drives. The rear exhaust fan helps to keep the system temperatures at a suitable level by blowing the warm air out of the rear, keeping a nice flow of cool air through the system.

Like most Cooler Master cases the Cooler Master 201B also has thumbsrews on the PCI expansion slots to allow quick and easy installation of devices. There Are also thumbscrews on the motherboard tray giving you quick access to the hardware within your PC.
Theres one thing which I would love to see Cooler Master using within their cases though. A similar device to which Lian Li use to enable the user to disconnect the headers for "power LED, reset switch ,etc..". This would save me and im sure many others having to find their motherboard manual each time they remove the motherboard from the case.
