And then there is the front bezel. The front bezel is the part of any case that is the first thing people see when they look at your computer. The styling incorporated to front bezels is immensely diverse and there is a look for everyone. While physical appearance is quite subjective, we can say certain things about the features of the front bezel on the Vigor Force case that we feel are very beneficial. The first of these features is the modular front connector panel. The I/O ports for the front of the case are situated in an independent 5.25” enclosure that can be moved wherever it is desired. This gives the Force an advantage over cases that have the I/O ports located in static positions that cannot be altered because it adds an element of customizability and aids in cable management. The second thing to note about the front bezel is the ease with which you can remove the place holders for the 5.25” bays. All you have to do is flip open the hinged aluminum flashing on either side of the bezel, reach in a give a small squeeze to the sides of the place holders and they pop right out. It requires far less effort to do this on the Force than it does on cases that have a similar design. This final thing to note about the Force is that every front place holder is constructed of PVC mesh. This allows an insane amount of air to flow into the case via the suction caused by the two included 120mm fans mounted inside. In a lot of modern cases, air is pulled in through the front of the case via obscure vents and is often forced to pass around various obstacles before getting to the components that need to be cooled. This increases the entropy of the ventilation system, reducing the effectiveness of the air flow. In the Force, the air flow is direct; air gets sucked in straight through the front of the case, passes over the components, and gets shot right out the back. Overall, the front bezel has a very simple design that is both stylish and functional.

Internal Features
One of the biggest things that people building their own systems look for when selecting a case is the ease with which they will be able to install their components. These days, companies try all sorts of things to make installation a breeze to the end consumer. Some manufacturers go for size on the notion that with more room comes an easier build. Other manufacturers include pre-fabricated cooling systems that reduce the headache of airflow management. However, the one thing that almost all companies seem to be doing to target gamers is making their cases “tool-less”. The degree to which companies take this design is varying, with some manufacturers having more tool-less features than others. On the Force, every single possible tool-less feature seems to be implemented. There are little locking mechanisms for add-in cards; there are rails and clips for the 3.5” and 5.25” bays. There are also large thumbscrews on the outside of the case and, as mentioned before, the place holders on the front bay can be removed with no tools and minimal effort.
