The all-black S25-W captivates attention with its minimalistic, timeless design and countless features. The elegant look of the case is also reflected within its interior. Clean outside and tidy inside – power supply, hard drives and cables all disappear from view. Only the most important hardware components remain visible through the extra-large acrylic side panel.
<b>Systematic Arrangement</b>
The special construction of the case interior offers enormous opportunities for discreet installation of various components. Cabling can be inconspicuous and hidden, therefore not affecting airflow inside the case. The power supply and up to three 3.5" hard drives can be decoupled on the bottom of the case inside the tunnel, therefore not detracting from the appearance. The air vents on the tunnel, side and top, ensure optimal cooling of hard drives. The mainboard and the remaining components enjoy perfect cabling thanks to the cable outlets. Installing a new heat sink for the CPU is extremely easy thanks to an opening in the mainboard tray. A tower cooler up to 16.7 cm in height can be installed. Maximum length for graphics cards is 40 cm; power supplies with a length of up to 20.5 cm. Three pre-installed dust filters protect installed hardware from contamination. For cleaning, they are easily removable and placed back on. Another filter is also pre-installed on the top panel, which can be quickly removed thanks to its magnetic fastener.
<b>Cableless Front Panel Design</b>
Another big advantage of the S25-W is its cableless front panel design. The front panel can be easily removed without needing to disconnect any cables. This facilitates the installation of a 5.25" or 3.5" drive tremendously.
<b>Optimal Preparation for Perfect Airflow</b>
The front panel has numerous right and left air inlets, which are not visible from the front, ensuring a supply of cold air. Also in the front panel, behind the dust filter, up to two 120 mm or 140 mm fans can be installed. Two 120 mm fans are already pre-installed. For water cooling, the S25-W offers the possibility of a 240 mm or 280 mm radiator, with a total height of 5.0 cm including fan, to be operated in the front of the case. On the rear panel of the case a 120 mm LED fan is pre-installed. Likewise, if desired, three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans can be installed underneath the magnetic top filter. Oval hole cutouts offer excellent opportunities for perfect positioning of fans or radiators.
<b>Modern Front Connectors</b>
Two USB 3.0 and two Audio ports in the front panel provide quick access to connect the most important peripheral devices. The USB 3.0 ports are connected via a 19-pin mainboard connector including an alternative USB 2.0 plug, to ensure backward compatibility with older mainboards.
<b>Versatile Mounting Options</b>
For optical drives, the S25-W provides two 5.25" drive bays with automatically locking tool-free device installation. By means of the enclosed 5.25" to 3.5" bay cover, for example, a card reader can be quickly and easily into one of the two 5.25" drive bays. Instead of hard drives, if necessary, two 2.5" HDD/SSDs can be incorporated instead. If more space is needed, the screwed in drive bays can be completely removed. In the bottom of the case, up to two 3.5" hard drives, or two 2.5" HDD/SSDs decoupled, are installed by means of a mounting frame. Space for another 3.5" drive is also available on the bottom of the case. Behind the mainboard tray of the S25-W, and on the tunnel, are two mounts for 2.5" drive bay trays. Thus allowing, via convenient thumbscrews, installation of up to two 2.5" HDD/SSDs.
