Internal View

    

The inside of this mid tower case shows a very roomy interior to put all your parts and cables.  Everything is easily accessible and the hard drive cage is rotated 90 degrees for easy access as well.

The drive bays feature screw-less are tool-less clips that are very easy to use.  All you need to do is flip the thing open put in your optical drive and snap it closed.

You can have up to 3 HHD drives installed in the lower cage and one or two in the 3.5" bays above.  They feature the same mechanism as up top.  Just flip and place.

The expansion slots in the rear are also screw-less and tool-less.  Adding and removing cards is a breeze.  There is also an 80mm exhaust fan to help regulate the temperature.

The cables are easy to place but it still requires some effort on your part to route them.  I installed the largest video card I could find, 9800GTX, to show that it could be installed with a little effort.  I had to remove the top clip for the card to fit in this motherboard.  I had another motherboard in and because of the PCI-E slot location, it fit without removing the clip.

This is what the case looks like with all the parts installed and in place.  The blue lights on the front next to the I/O panel gives it the feeling that it's going to transform at any minute.

Conclusion

This is a very nice mid tower case.  The Sagitta 2 is a pretty roomy case for a mid tower.  It has an extremely glossy finish on the front of the case.  The rest of the case is just a little shinier than flat black.  The contrast isn't bad though.  We had to remove one of the clips to install our video card, but the 9800GTX is a very large video card.  I was impressed that it fit at all.  There have been quite a few mid tower cases that it didn't fit into.  You are sure to draw some attention away from peoples monitors long enough for you to mow them down in Call of Duty 4 at your next LAN Party.  At $80, the Sagitta 2 is a good buy.  Club Overclocker Recommended!
