On top we see pretty huge mesh. Good for top side exhaust ventilation.

You can mount two fans underneath it, but obviously it can also can be used for a radiator as there is room for a full 240mm radiator. A dual 120mm radiator would be a breeze to install for sure, and we can only assume the new LCS units from Corsair will look great.

At the front side at the to right p we see the power on switch and LED activity. Connectors wise you'll have USB 3.0 x2, MIC/Headphones. It is nice to see USB 3.0 implemented here.

Here we have the right side panel (behind the back of the motherboards). There's  room there for cable management, we'll show you that in a minute.

Internals then, since the photos are dark, bear with me. First impression, that's a very decent amount of room to work in for a mid sized tower alright. The second thought would be the all black design, including cables and connectors. lacking are grommet holes or more specifically the black rubber inlays to hide cabling, but overall you can make it all really clean and tidy if you use dark wiring.

A good and popular trend these days is to make a big gaping hole in the motherboard tray. This actually is a CPU backplate cutout which allows you to remove and install a new CPU cooler much easier. Typically you'd need to take out the motherboard to install a new cooler, now you can access it from both sides without that unpleasant experience of removing a motherboard from the chassis.
