The exterior is a very dark charcoal/black with ample venting on the sides and bottom for the hot-running LGA 775 P4. The front is the standard high-end Shuttle design: integrated 8 card media reader at the top of the face, below that a stealthed optical drive bay had an adjustable tab so that it will align properly with the operating button of most optical drives, a spring-loaded bay cover that would typically house a 3.5 inch floppy drive, the indicator lights, power button and reset button, and the front access ports.
