Side-mounted air vents improve ventilation throughout the enclosure. To keep the chassis clean and free from dust, it features washable air filters at the front and the bottom of the unit. Numerous strategically placed cable routing holes make it easy to hide even thick cables between the outer panel and the mainboard tray, allowing for cleaner builds with better airflow.

God DAMN Antec. When are you going to figure out that nobody wants your dumbass fans with speed switches attached to the fans, WHERE NOBODY CAN GET AT THEM WHEN THE CASE IS CLOSED?

Lol. Agreed, but those are the Tri-Cool fans that had the switches iirc, I don't recall 2 speed switched Antec fans...though last time I bought an Antec fan was years and years ago.

These fans are controlled by two-speed switches by the IO area on the case, so you do have external access. Check the pictures. :toast:

Not sure what's the benefit of noise dampening material when there are wide open vents on the top.

+1. I have two laying around. They have switches, but with 3-speeds. Not 2 as you said.

Hmm, how do you make sound wet?

I think they mean DAMPING (reducing the level of something). ;)

Don't try thinking for others, they are correct in their usage of dampening. ;)
Google is a wonderful thing.

My mistake, it seems the usage I thought it was only applies to oscillations and I took it that way as sound is an oscillation.
