At the backside of the chassis we notice the big-ass 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. There is space for cable routing here, but not lots of it.

At the top side we can see the 120mm and a 140mm fan, these are included and installed for you already. In the upper mesh you'll notice that mounting holes for other fan and radiator solutions have already been prepped. In-between the two fans there are two round holes with rubber inlays. These could be used for LCS tubing.

You'll get 7 PCI slots to play around with so in theory you can house up-to three graphics cards in here, two I'd recommend as maximum as space wise you can very easily run into problems.
