An old floppy drive just in case.
the thing that goes down is called the “Magic Mask” to keep out dust.
Not a very good case when you want to install hardware because the air vents on the sides gets in the way so you cant really put it on its side well. The case is hard to put back together, I have to be careful not to damage the fans when sliding the door.
But it has good air flow from the design, it was made to keep comps cool, the side vents that looks like jets exhaust actually work. There is a side area where air is directly given to the CPU.

unknown fan speed.
