Identification notes
What is known
Two August 15, 2026 photographs expand the existing provisional CaseLabs accessory record rather than creating a second cage object. The images show a white powder-coated open-sided cage with four vertically stacked 3.5-inch drive positions, black vibration-isolation grommets along both side panels, a black fan mounted across the lower plate, an attached fan lead, and multiple retained fasteners. The fan label carries visible Corsair branding, consistent with the prior operator identification as a Corsair static-pressure fan, but the exact model, electrical rating, and connector are not legible enough in these frames for a definitive model assignment. The assembly remains a candidate for the front-right pedestal storage position. The photographs do not establish the exact historical CaseLabs retail name, grommet count or condition on hidden faces, loose-hardware completeness, thread integrity, fan function, installed airflow direction, drive fitment, or chassis fitment. Two stripped or thread-damaged screws were previously reported, but these frames do not isolate them clearly. Do not attempt removal until their positions, heads, and surrounding threads have been photographed closely.
Restoration relevance
