Inside the Antec Take-4

You aren't going to find a lot of bells and whistles inside of a rackmount case normally, but Antec did what they could to spice things up a bit. There is a cross bar at the top of the case that adds strength to the case.

Antec also build in a cooling duct for the power supply.

The air duct is removable should you need to install a power supply that's larger than 6.5"�. Given the Extreme Edition processor, high volume of HDD/SSDs and high stress the system will run under we're using a big fat power supply so the air duct has to go.

Here we see the dual case fans included with the Take-4. Both have three user selectable settings - High, Medium and Low. The case fans also use 4-pin Molex connectors and adapters for 3-pin motherboard headers are not included.

The drive sleds have rubber grommets so your 3.5"� HDDs are not in contact with any metal that can induce vibration and thus make additional noise.

There are also two 3.5"� internal bays that can be used for HDDs or other 3.5"� devices like floppy drives.

Finally there are dual 5.25"� optical bays just above the air duct.

As we mentioned the air duct is coming out and in this image, we can see it removed. The 5.25"� bay will go back in after we mount the Icy Dock 6-in-1 SATA drive carrier.
