Window Front Plate

/ CaseLabs Mercury S8 / pedestal

Object ID

FI-CL-PART-005

Summary

This object appears to be an alternate main-chassis front plate configured with a window opening instead of the dual fan bays found on FI-CL-PART-004. It retains the flex-bay and power-switch configuration and represents a display-oriented front option for the current S8 build. Exact CaseLabs terminology needs verification.
