The chassis is made out of a steel structure with black faceplate/bezel, the bezel has an aluminum inlay. As you can see at the front side, it supports 3x External 5.25", 1x External 3.5" (from one 5.25") and a good 7x Internal 3.5/2.5". It makes the chassis a mid-tower.

The door covers the entire height of the chassis. It can be installed so that it opens to the right or left. Granted the the plastic spring which you're intended to push up on to release the bottom hinge feels a little plasticy.

When we flip around the unit we can see the all closed side panel a little better. The panel can be removed be removing two thumbnails at the back and then pull it towards you, it is the old traditional way of chassis panel removal.  The size of the chassis by the way is is chassis is just 527 x 207 X 509 mm with a Net weight of 11kg.

The backside then. Next to the rear IO we spot a 120mm (included) fan. All three fans in this chassis can be PWM fan controlled. The AI6 has 8+1 card slots and all the way at the top we spot three grommet holes, these could be used for some sort of external liquid cooling.

Here we can see the left opposing side panel, with the same locking mechanism. Two thumbscrews at the rear secure it down. The matte black paintjob is sensitive to scratches by the way.

On top we see Front panel connectors, You'll have plenty of them including MIC/Headphones, a good four USB 2.0, lacking is a Firewire connector. Also here we have a power on/off button and reset switch as well as small activity LEDs. Included as well here are two USB 3.0 headers, these can be connected through the internal motherboard USB 3.0 connector.

Below it we spot three 5.25" drive bays. The entire front panel is removable with clip on fan slots, the meshed 5.25" covers are protected with dust filters. The gap in-between the top and side panel is in fact a vent for air flow.
