THE SIGNATURE S10 INTERIOR

Remember the door clip/button found on both sides of the S10? Pressing that pushes out the mainboard chamber door as seen above.

Both doors are removable to make it easier for you to install hardware inside the S10 (notice the magnetic strip at the end of the door).

The vent clip/button actually keeps the front air-filter in place (it's also washable).

All six 3.5" removable drive trays plus three fixed 2.5" ones are placed at the front chamber as seen above.

The drive trays are not the sturdiest ones we've seen to date but they get the job done.

I was surprised to find yet another pull-out air-filter at the top of the front chamber (since there's no fan there i wasn't expecting it).

There's yet another fan placed at the base of the front chamber and since this is an exhaust fan i guess that's why Antec placed that air-filter at the top.

Moving back to the mainboard chamber we see that the mainboard tray has 5 rubber grommets (unfortunately they come off easily) on it for cable management (plus 1 more on the PSU chamber).

Right from the factory there are three 120mm intake fans placed at the front of the mainboard chamber but you can always replace them with a 360mm radiator.

A tool-free mechanism would be nice but still using rubber coated thumbscrews for all 10 PCI expansion slots is not half bad either.

The PSU chamber is located beneath the mainboard chamber and aside the two large pieces of rubber (used to absorb vibrations from the PSU) Antec has also placed another drive cage.

This drive cage is only for 2.5" drives and just like the front 2.5" drive mounts you just need to slide the drive inside and raise the front clip/bar.

This is what the right side of the interior looks like.

Antec also gives you the ability to add yet another fan in the PSU chamber for better cooling of the 2.5" drives.

Installing the fan is not hard just remove the rubber coated thumbscrew and get the mount out.

With a total of 7 pre-installed fans it makes sense that Antec would had placed a fan hub (unfortunately it's not speed controlled).

Finally we have two 140mm exhaust fans placed at the top of the chassis.

These fans (like the front ones) are mounted on a removable bracket and can be replaced with a 280mm radiator.
