Inside the front
Although the switches and lights are in a reasonably convenient location, the Tuniq 3 - just like so many new cases being churned out by competitors - does have its external drive bays concealed behind a door, a design you either love or loathe.
With two internal 3.25in bays and seven external - five 5.25in and two 3.5in - the chassis offers pretty much what you'd expect from a case of this size.
Unlike some case doors, the Tuniq's has clearly involved a fair amount of thought. The aluminium is backed with colour-matched plastic that includes a large cut-out to cater for drives or control boxes with knobs and dials on the front. Good stuff!
However, the door hinges are plastic hinges, which did concern us a little. Even so, the wiring into the door was done tidily and the magnets that hold it shut were stronger than the usual fair, producing a nice resounding 'clunk' when closed.
But, the wiring itself could be a problem to the sort of user who removes PC doors to give unfettered access to the drive bays.
The front ports are located on the left side of the case near the front and probably too low to be practical unless, that is, the user has the case sitting on a low table to his/her right.
Furthermore, while FireWire might seem to be a possibility, the FireWire socket isn't knocked out and no electrical wizardry is included. Two USB ports and mic and headphone sockets are there, however.
