On top we see a huge mesh. Great ventilation, the top mesh can be used for a radiator as there is room for a full 240mm radiator. Obviously you can go nuts with other fans here as well as installing a LCS (liquid cooling system) radiator. A dual 120mm radiator would be a breeze to install for sure.

Handy by the way, all the way at the back of the photo is a grip (hard to see), you can lift and move arround the chassis really easy.

At the front side at the top we see the power on switch and LED (white). Connectors wise you'll have plenty of them including USB 3.0 x2, MIC/Headphones, a Firewire connector. To the right we see a reset switch but also an on/off switch for lights inside the chassis (the fans glow in white, and you can turn their LEDs off by pressing a button located on the top part of the front panel). Below it all this you'll spot the 5.25" drive bays, (x4) 5.25.

Here we have the right side panel (behind the back of the motherboards. Look at the indentation, there's plenty of room there for cable management.

Internals then, since the photos are dark, bare with me. First impression, that's just a lot of room to work in for a mid sized tower alright. The second thought would be the all black design, including cables and connectors. Even the grommet holes have black rubber inlays to hide cabling, yes, cable management is a primary feature of the chassis. You can make it all really clean and tidy.

We can also see the gaps in the motherboard tray with the rubber inlays here a tad better (grommet holes), here you can route your cabling through, and the rubber inlays keep things clean and tidy looking.
