Superpower Landmark KS-299 ATX Mid Tower

Once inside, the drive bay setup is immediately apparent. The four 5.25" bays are permanently mounted to the frame with the three 3.5" bays held below by a single screw. None of the bays use drive rails - simply slide a drive into the bay and secure it with screws.

Although the motherboard tray is not removable, mounting one inside is fairly easy, thanks again to that unusually deep design. It's still not as convenient as a removable tray, but it is faster for OEM's seeking to minimize assembly time. Metal standoffs are permanently mounted in all the required ATX mounting holes, with additional screw in metal standoffs included for any other mounting points on your particular motherboard. Once the standoffs are all in place, the motherboard is simply screwed into place. Front panel cabling is kept tidy since all cables are attached to each other until they split out at the end.

Cooling is provided by two 80mm fans - one in the power supply and the other at the front of the case. The power supply fan exhausts air out the back of the case while the one at the front draws air in. The front fan is included with the case and features a three pin fan connector. There is a mount for an optional second case fan under the power supply. Case fans mount in plastic holders that simply clip to the case frame.

The power supply is a Superpower designed and manufactured model with 250W of power. A 300W power supply is also an option. It's fully ATX 2.01 compliant and exhausts air as mentioned above. A power switch on the back affords a little more control over the system's power state than the standard ATX soft power - especially in a situation where the system may be locked up and the soft power switch does not respond. Power connections are covered by 4 standard and 1 mini power connector. As can be seen above, the number of ventilation holes on the power supply is minimal and may contribute to not being able to get hot air out of the case.
