Internals then. Initial thought, decent room to work in for a tower this size. The specs mention that you can use lengthy graphics cards alright. Graphics cards up to 350mm in length will fit, and even a 240mm water cooling radiator at the right front side can be mounted. On the storage side, Pandora can hold up to two 3.5" hard drives or three 2.5" SSDs.

At the backside of the chassis we notice the gaping hole in the motherboard tray. This 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, though not heaps of it.

At the top side we can see the one 120mm fan. In the upper mesh you'll notice that mounting holes for other fan and radiator solutions have already been prepped. You do need to stick to 120mm for the top side.

You'll get 5 PCI slots to play around with so in theory you can house two graphics cards in here, one I'd recommend as maximum as space and heat wise you could run into problems, guys this is the Micro ATX form factor mmmkay ? Small details, rubber feet for the PSU, helps against resonating. Hey - I like the small simple stuff.
