Exterior
The mold of the Legend is a straight-edge 16.85" X 7.09" X 16.06" rectangle, completed with the plastic faceplate which features a few slopes to keep the front of the expansion bays flush with the rest of the case. The lower half of the front features a removable mesh placeholder (featuring the DiabloTek logo) which can be used for mounting external 3.5" devices. The I/O panel rests at the top of the front face featuring two USB 2.0 ports as well as audio/microphone ports. The panel is completed with a power and reset button, as well as a blue LED line to indicate power.

The entirety of the front faceplate is made of mesh, with only a little surface area dedicated to the frame that holds all the placeholders together. Otherwise, all the pieces can be removed for expansion devices, or to clean of dust and debris. This also aids in the overall airflow of the case, keeping the components inside cooler.

The left side panel features a rectangle mesh section which allows for any combination of 80mm, 90mm, or 120mm fans to be mounted. The rest of the panel is a solid piece with a small handle positioned at the end to help while removing and replacing the side panel. The right side panel (against the motherboard tray) is identical to the reverse side but does not feature any mesh screening. Both side panels are secured to the chassis with two included thumbscrews.

The back of the Legend shows support for water cooling with two grommit holes atop the rear 120mm exhaust fan area. The motherboard I/O area is a standard cut-out, with seven PCI slots underneath. Though the interior features tool-less mechanisms, securing PCI devices on the Legend uses Phillips screws as well as a bracket secured with screws, and is on the outside of the case. The back of the chassis is finished with a power supply cut-out at the bottom.

Flipping the Legend over, we can see the PSU mounting area supported with a removable mesh screen, as well as a screen for an additional internal 120mm fan. Four feet on the corners of the case raise the Legend from any surface, allowing the bottom-mounted PSU to be installed upside down if need be.
