HDD Racks, Casters, Panels



The hard drive racks used in the Duality are a stroke of genius. Each set of racks holds three drives. Hard drives are mounted to the racks on each side, as you normally would. Then, you take the entire assembly and mount it to a 120mm fan. This mounting method eliminates the restrictive hard drive cages found in most cases, cools the hard drives very well and looks very clean and professional. The Duality comes with two sets of hard drive racks, enough to hold six drives. Should you need more drive space, extra racks are available to expand your hard drive capacity to a whopping 18 total drives.





Included with the Duality is a set of casters and all of the necessary mounting hardware (screws and nuts). Each caster is held in place with four screws and nuts. Installation of the casters was very easy, but I would recommend doing so before installing any fans in the lower row of ports on the front of the case. I made this mistake and ended up having to remove the fans to fully tighten the screws for the front casters. Having a mobile case on your desk is great; even more so if you will be putting the Duality on the floor.





The three removable panels all have mirrored etched windows. The first panel above features a Mountain Mods Duality design. The second panel is an etching of a photo I sent to Mountain Mods. The image was inspired by the Memphis, TN skyline, which features the famous "M" bridge (the largest free standing letter of the alphabet in the world heh) that spans the mighty Mississippi River and the Pyramid arena that sits on the banks of the River. The third panel window etch is modeled after the new OCIA.net T-Shirt Design.

More ahead as we look at the fans, grills and lighting that I will be using in the Duality...
