External Appearance – Front


Following in the footsteps of many Apple clones before it, the P150 chassis features a brushed aluminium and white colour scheme, but unlike a lot of the clones that have come from the Far East, the P150 is very well-executed, featuring high-quality plastics and clever design.

Featuring the usual suspects on the front panel, 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x FireWire400, microphone and speaker ports. The power button itself incorporates the power light indicator on the front, whilst the HDD activity light is located on the other side of the front panel.

The P150 comes with two pre-fitted drive covers in the top 5.25” bays whilst the lack of separate 3.5” bays results in one being embedded in the lowest 5.25” bay, should you wish to use it.

Unclipping the front panel allows the swing-out front to reveal access to the four 5.25” bays. In addition to this there's a second door that covers the 3.5” bays in the P150.
