We quite liked the provided fan speed control unit which had the option to run the fans in either silent or cooling mode. We didn't really notice a general difference in operational noise levels in either modes though you might be able to discern the slight increase if you were actually paying close attention. In any case, since the controllable fans run only in the range of 800RPM to 1200RPM, we weren't really expecting any great differential.

Located within easy reach is the fan control bay which both the top and forward three fans are linked to.

As highlighted in an earlier photo, the door hinges are actually interchangeable, though you wouldn't really notice it. By default, the front door swings open to the right, but you can swap it such that the door opens to the left. It's not a very straightforward process like what we've come across on Cooler Master casings, but considering that you're likely to do it only once, it's a good that such an option is available.

The hinges feel solid and sturdy. Note the grey padding strip on the far right of the picture which protects the case from scratches when closing the front door as well as cushions the door from hard 'slams'.

Moving on to the rear of the casing, we find the same standard features as in most cases, so nothing really new or ground breaking here.

Installing the PSU is easy, just unscrew the cover plate and screw it to the PSU before sliding it in.

The PC-P160 comes with two pre-drilled water cooling outlet/inlet to facilitate the tubing, which is nice thought, but the grommets are made of plastic, which is not so nice.

Standard seven expansion slots are found on the PC-P60. Notice the many ventilation slits on the expansion slot covers and more vents just above them? While these certainly gather more dust over time, it is important to understand that this design actually helps case cooling and more so for graphics cards where we've seen such designs help reduce GPU temperatures by up to 10 degrees Celsius on passively cooled cards.
