Here we have the view of the cases from the back.

        Obviously there are no significant changes in the structure and layout, the power supply now comes with a power outlet for use with a monitor instead of a on/off switch. Many of you should remember that this power supply configuration was popular with the AT format. The shiny stuff at the bottom are the new chrome expansion slot plates, which are easier to use and cooler looking.

        If you look closely at the red circles I drew, you can see the new side panel clips. These are very convenient features that's new to the Avance Technologies line.



And here is a closer look at the clip...

To lock the top clips, simply snap it upward; and for the two lower clips, snap down to lock instead. It can't be done any easier or faster than this.



If you have any doubts on whether these clips can truly replace screws, I have pictures below that show me lifting the CI-7004D2 up in the mid air by holding onto the side panels only (And yes, at nearly 19lb. it's heavy).
