There is a compartment on the backside that contains the power supply, an HDD bay, and some nifty cable routing features. In the process of opening the motherboard tray side panel, you'll come across cable routing options, SSD and radiator space

The PSU compartment is located on the lower right of the chassis. The chassis can accommodate a total of three SSDs at the motherboard tray, and there are two HDD slots located down below in the cage. You can spot two cable-management guides which employ the dense, Corsair-branded Velcro ties. Three of them have already been put in order to secure the pre-routed cables in place.

At the bottom you can mount the power supply, really any length will fit. There's a handy retention clip here as well. The rest of the space can be used for cable management. You get a good 20cm before you bump into the HDD (which can be repositioned or removed). In the end we removed it due to this thing called SSD technology these days, and to be able to use that space for cabling.

Meet the NODE Commander PRO XT, a powerful toolset. Thermal probe sensors are also included with this RGB/FAN hub. Everything and anything in the chassis goes into the iCUE software, and you simply attach it to your motherboard's USB port, which is powered by the SATA power connectors on the back of the chassis. One USB cable needs to be connected to communicate with iCUE.

The HDD cage, there's not a lot of room with a standard ATX PSU to tuck away cables. You can mount two 3.5" devices, though, so you'll gain heaps of 'storage' with the removal of one cage.

The 2.5" storage slots can be seen in this photo. Three of them, alternatively you can mount another two in the HDD cage.
