Once you move down a bit you see a small hatch. Once opened you have access to two usb connectors and two audio ports. Don’t use them? No problems just keep the door closed and you won’t notice them.

One of the more unique features of this case is the illuminated dial. The case has a built in fan controller with a temperature sensor that measures the temperature inside the case. The fan controller has three color settings. Blue, violet and red. Blue is good, violet means you need to turn the fans up a bit more by turning the dial. Red means it’s advised to turn the dial at full speed.

The Nexus Clodius has two pre-installed fans which will then turn at 1700rpm to keep your hardware cool enough. The fan controller dial also acts as power button and just next to it is a small reset button. Just below the fan controller is a small cabinet to access the fan filter. From the front of the case press on the fan filter door, the lid opens and you have easy access to the filter. Take out the fan filter for cleaning. It is recommended to clean the filter regularly for optimum airflow

The Nexus Clodius is a regular midsized atx chassis with room for 7 hard drives and four 5 1/4 drives. Included with the case are the manual and some screws and bits.

One of the two 120mm fans was dangling on its wire in between the front and the hard drive section. I’m not sure how the fan got loose because the rubber fan mounts are quite strong and they keep the fan in place pretty much the whole time. Normally would expect them to be screwed onto the case. But Nexus included their rubber fan mounts that help prevent the fans pass-through any vibrations coming from the fans. Vibrations transferred by fans are pretty much noticeable though, most of the time a hard drive is the cause of excess noise, but killing all preventing is better than curing.
