A lovely big motherboard cutout so you can easily install a new cooler. Bear in mind that the tray can be reversed inside the chassis if you'd like to do so. Below that gap, we see a PCB with lots of connectors.

The PCB is, in fact, a fan HUB and RGB for the included and some extra fans. However it also functions as RGB controller as the external RGB LEDs can be configured in six colors (white, red, green, blue, orange, purple) and three modes to choose from: Single color, breath effect and auto color to synchronize with a motherboard LED controller. The auto color option allows colored light effects syncing to work with system components, extra LED strips can be connected and synchronized as well.

You power this unit with a SATA power connector and as you can see, you may add extra fans as well.

Here is a side angled view of the inside of the chassis. There is a decent amount of space to work with inside the chassis mainly due to the large dimensions. Nice to see are the properly rubberized grommet holes, the good stuff that stays in place if you lead a wire/cable through it.

Here a closer look at that front panel, so the fan control is all to the left with three settings, auto (motherboard PWM based) and then low, medium and high settings. You'll notice a nice USB 3.1 Type-C connector as well To the right we can see the LED RGB button, just press it and you will go through the color options and animations.
