Let's have a look inside the chassis. You'll notice that the layout is a little different than usual. You have the option of installing SSD/HDDs on the backside, as well as up to five SSDs at the rear. Accessing the motherboard is simple and straightforward, and large components may be accommodated without compromising on space or reach. The 5000T supports graphic cards up to 400mm in length and, for the CPU cooler, up to 170 mm (CPU die surface to side panel). As a result, even an RTX 3090 will have sufficient space. For this arrangement, we'd strongly recommend using an LCS.

The top side dust filter is pretty much a rubber meshed mat with magnetic strips in it. Works superbly, really. Looking under the hood you can see there is space enough for up to 360 LCS/radiator units. So at the front and top, you could install a 360mm / 280mm. Next to the motherboard tray a 360mm one, can be hidden and the rear could hold a 120mm LCS cooler.

The white strips you see are in fact RGB LED strips, already connected to the commander XT.  There are four of these, two at the top and two at the bottom.  From the start, you'll have fully programmable RGB lighting thanks to the 160 RGB LEDs built into the front, roof, and floor panels, plus 48 RGB LEDs in the accompanying fans.

You'll come across seven PCI slots, followed by two vertical slots for mounting a large, powerful graphics card vertically. Of course, you'd need a riser cable for this. By the way, there is no fan included in the package at the back. As a result, you'll receive a total of three aRGB compliant fans located at the front side, each of which is already connected and preloaded to the fan/RGB NODE that is compatible with iCUE. The fans hold 16 individually addressable RGB LEDs per fan, controllable via PWM from 600 - 1,500 RPM.

It is straightforward and quick to route all of your important cables through a single hidden channel, and there is plenty of space below the motherboard for all of your cables thanks to the RapidRoute Cable Management System. In the interior, there is room for up to 10x 120mm or 4x 140mm cooling fans, as well as multiple 60mm-thick radiators, including up to a 360mm push/pull radiator in the roof and a 360mm front/side radiator.

And here the PSU cover, you can mount a power supply of up to 225mm inside, however, that will require the removal of one 3.5" HDD mounting bracket.
