Product showcase – interior

On the top, there is a solid metal panel with sound-dampening material. Normally there is one fan installed there. After removing the metal cover you can see the filter.

Unfortunately, there is no removable tray for fans/radiators, which would have made your installation experience a bit easier.

There is plenty of space to route cables, including the EPS one, which can be tricky in some other (mainly lower-end) cases where you need to pre-route it before securing the motherboard inside. Native E-ATX motherboard support makes life easier as well. There is also a huge cut-out for your cooling solution’s backplate, which should make installing the CPU cooler much more user-friendly.

Under the rear fan, there are 7 PCI card slots (secured with thumbscrews), and 2 vertical ones (so you might find fitting thicker cards problematic in that orientation). There is also a mesh for the PSU to suck in fresh air through, and that’s good.

You can also find a cut-out (with a rubber grommet) in the PSU shroud, for PCI-Express cables to pass through.

There is a 225mm length limit for the PSU if the HDD cage is installed. It’s best to stay below 170-180mm if you want to use it. If you don’t, there is even more space (but who would need it?). Ok, next page, please.
