Congratulations!

Thank you for purchasing the Crystal Series 460X Tempered Glass, Compact-ATX Mid-Tower PC Case.

With its tempered glass front and side panel, the CORSAIR Crystal Series 460X is a compact and gorgeous ATX case with great cooling potential. Wires and drives are stowed away under a removable two-piece PSU and HDD cover. The Direct Airflow Path design ensures that fans don't have to work to get air through unused drive cages, but can gently direct air to your hottest components and keep things quiet and still cool.
