The SMA8 was designed without a fixed I/O panel for the front. Instead, we created a 3.5'' bay mount directly under the switches. Now you have the freedom to have any type I/O panel you like or none at all! The switch assembly includes two switch plates, a solid version and one with a cut-out for your 3.5'' device.

Amazing Quality and Space

review by thecautiousone

Where Do I start? I cannot say enough of How Good this Case will Treat you.

Assembly is amazing first of all. You have the Option for Two tone Cases (When the Company allows)
Customer Service is A Plus.

I wanted to build on the X99 Platform and have big Radiators ( 480mm Rads ) Which this can fit multiple 560mm Rads if Need be.

It was a hard lick to drop the amount of cash I did on this case but It was the first case by Caselabs that I have made and I am not Dissapointed at all.








Truly a Gamechanger for me as I was finally able to see what a case is supposed to "Feel" like.

I've already ordered a Caselabs S3 to build in (A way smaller version)
