At the front side at the top right, we see the power on switch and an HDD activity LED. Connectors wise, you'll have plenty of them, including 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1, HD Audio, Fan Switch Button.

On the top rear, we see a mesh. Good for top side exhaust ventilation. Below the top mesh, you can house a radiator as there is room for an up-to 360mm radiator. Obviously, you can go nuts with other fans here and install other formats of LCS (liquid cooling system) radiators.

The front panel, top panel, and side doors are all made out of ABS plastic, giving the chassis a bit of a cheaper feel to it. The sound dampening lining, however, is incredibly thick and brings in a premium feel. As stated, you can easily remove the panels by pressing a button located at the rear side. This works really well.

The front bezel, you grab it by its ass and remove the cover and slide them out. Here again, thick sound dampening and a removable dust filter.

Now you can clean the dust from the filters or access the two 140mm fans quite easily. The inside of the cover has sound dampening material applied to it. It's no surprise to find that both panels are lined with sound-absorbing material as well. The same lining is also included on the front panel, absorbing vibration and noise. But sure, it can also trap heat as it isolates that.

Let's take a good look at the innards. Everything has been designed in a rather dark fashion. We see grommet holes 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 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. Nice is the huge PSU cover.
