Product Showcase

 
The front panel, top panel, and side panels are made out of several materials ranging from steel for the chassis and aluminum to give it that more luxurious feel. There is no front side door though, so that means no space for your ODD units, the lower segment holds the fan(s). On the right side of the panel, you will notice cutouts, they have been embedded for a reason, of course, both can be adjusted to allow air to enter the chassis from the sides.
  

Tempered glass is great, it however, is reflective. Always keep that in mind if you have a house/office with lots of bright elements. be quiet! however uses tinted glass, so the second the surroundings are twilight, it'll look terrific. See that frontside outline? That's actually RGB lit. You can connect the LED unit to your motherboard, but also use the internal LED controller to set a color of your preference. We'll show that in detail later on in the article though.

Let's take a peek at the innards. Everything has been designed in a rather dark fashion. We see grommet holes, lovely with rubber inlays and a lot of covers. A decent design if you ask me. 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.

Up to E-ATX-sized (30.5 x 27.5 cm), motherboards will fit here. Repositionable single HDD slots provide flexible installation options. Motherboard tray and HDD main tray can be inverted together for ultimate flexibility. Every HDD slot can fit two SSDs or one HDD. The case supports up to seven HDDs or 14 SSDs in seven single cages (three included). Two of the HDD cages can be hidden under the PSU shroud and there is space for three additional SSD cages behind the motherboard tray.

All the way below we can see plenty of space for the PSU and again a cut out to feed PSU cabling through. The PSU area is my one gripe, the PSU is a bit difficult to mount (we'll show you later) but also the cabling becomes very visible. I really would have liked to see a dark black cover there.

Some sound dampening lining is also included on the top panel and right side panel, absorbing vibration and noise. You can see the material usage in the above photo.
