Back and Sides

Round the back we have a couple of other features worth mentioning. The first is the PSU plate. A single screw holds it in place with the aid of some pressed sliders. Very simply you remove the plate, slide your power supply into the hole, and follow it up with the plate.

The important thing to note here is that it is not an all-in-one removable PSU plate; so, in all honesty, to me at least, it seems a very complicated way of mounting a power supply.

The beady-eyed amongst you will notice that the left-hand panel is riveted to the chassis, with only the right-hand panel removable. This puzzled us somewhat, and we just couldn’t see the point. May be it’s a simple case of cost cutting? Who knows?

The right-hand panel is held in place with two thumbscrews, which you can discard after you have opened the side once.

The reason for this is the small sliding lock, located to the right of the 120mm plain black fan. The lock itself is a very simple, but ultimately effective, solution, and quite handy if you dive inside your case a lot.

The left-hand side features a rectangular area perforated with holes of varying sizes, not unusual for any chassis nowadays, but in the case of the iTower 930 it is put to good use.
