MGE Sidewinder: A Look at a Gaming Chassis

Expansion
For being such a small case, the Sidewinder has just enough space to allow for expansion. For starters, it has a total of four 5-1/4" drive bays at the top. It's too bad that MGE decided to leave out tool-less features of this chassis, but since this seems like a value-priced case, we don't really mind. What's a couple of screws to secure a drive, right?The rest of the bays are the 3-1/2" flavor and also require screws, as we mentioned earlier, to secure the drives mounted in them. The top two are exposed for floppy or memory card reader drives.
The Sidewinder has the standard 7 expansion slots for motherboard add-on cards, like VGA and sound. These also make use of traditional screws to mount cards in place.
