Both side panels are relatively easy to open: you just have to remove four thumbscrews on each side. Let’s see what’s waiting for us inside.
The first thing in the main chamber that will catch your attention would be the PSU bracket on the top-right side.
You can also choose to install your SSDs/HDDs only in the rear part of the chassis.
There are two SSD/HDD bays under and on the backplate cut-out. You can fit one HDD/two SSDs per bay.
Although it’s a small-sized case, it’s relatively easy to access all of the motherboard ports, and you can fit very big components here. The case supports graphics cards up to 360mm in length, and we have yet to see anything even close to these limits in real life (even the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti LIGHTNING Z edition is “only” 340mm long), but this can shrink to 270 mm (still quite a lot for this size of chassis) if your PSU is over 160 mm long. Max CPU cooler height is 160mm (which should be enough to fit most products on the market). The maximum PSU length is 180mm, but it’s better to have 160mm or a shorter one.
Today, we are reviewing two air coolers from Cooler Master: MasterAir MA624 Stealth and MA612 Stealth ARGB. Usually, we had a chance to check the AIO solutions from them, so now it's a good opportunity to study what we can achieve more standardly. This will also be a nice occasion to present two types of cooling architecture, as the MA612 Stealth ARGB is a single-tower, and MA624 Stealth is a dual-tower
