Closer Look: Interior

The inside of the SilverStone EC03 bay is also black anodized. All of the edges were finished.

Here we can see the 1 lane PCI-E card connects to the 2 port bay using the included cable. You can also see the molex receptacle on the right side of the card in this image. The molex connector gives the EC03 the ability to provide up to 3.6 amps of power, which is handy when using it for charging devices.

Here we see the electronic components of the EC03 card.
