Alright, it's a bit of a thing to get used to, the angular looks that is. The top side we see a large mesh. Good for top side exhaust ventilation, the panel is a solid color-matched piece that can be removed actually. The top can be used for a radiator.

At the rear side, you see the two screws yeah? Remove them ... and then you can pop off that top cover. It'll not only help you to clean the filter, nope there's more.

Then you get access to the top side. You actually could house fans there, not an LCS unit though. That would need to be dealt from the inside of the chassis.

At the front right side at the power on switch and LED. Connectors wise you'll have USB 3.0 x2, MIC/Headphones, your basics are covered really.

In the front there is a red LED activated sp120 fan included. You could alternatively mount more fans or radiators here, up-to r 3 x 120mm fans or 2 x 140mm fans, the front can support a 240, 280, or 360mm radiator.

Internals then, the 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. Last and thirdly, the bottom location for the PSU is visible, it's not shielded. You will spot grommet holes with black rubber inlays to hide cabling, overall you can make it all really clean and tidy. A good and popular trend these days is to make a big gaping hole in the motherboard tray. This actually is a CPU back-plate 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.
