From up top we move to down under, the bottom. The chassis rests on four rubber feet (you need to install these, but they are supplied) to prevent it from resonating and giving it a good mount on any surface. The chassis is heavy enough and weighs something like 10 pounds, there's just no way it would resonate whatsoever. The Carbide AIR 240 has removable dust filters. Removing and cleaning the filters is an easy task.

With the top and side panels removed we can now look from top to bottom what the inside of the chassis looks like. The panels all are secured with two thumbscrews, then you pull the panel to the back and gently lift it out. Here's the top side. You can easily replace/move or change out the 120mm fan. If you look to the top left side you will see a SSD cage that can hold three 2.5" SSDs.

Inside the chassis you'll spot a small carton box. Bundled items are screws, tie-wraps etc. Here we see the left side opened up, a 120mm fan is already mounted for you. These are PWM controlled fans. Connect them to a controller or your motherboard to regulate them. The chassis itself does not have a fan controller.

The matte dark interior overall is well designed and there's not ample, but enough room to work with, all the larger components will fit including even the longest graphics cards. You'll get four PCI expansion ports at your disposal. You can also see that this is the spot where you could mount a 120 radiator for you liquid cooling preference. Motherboard standoffs are already inserted, we see a nice CPU gap to easily change out the cooler and grommet gaps to tuck away wiring. This is impressive for such a small chassis. Also spot the two 120mm fans at the front side, you could mount a 240LCS there as well of course.

At the opposing side we can see where we can mount the PSU, that would be the left bottom side. All standard ATX power supplies can be installed. At the top of the PSU mount you'll find the HDD cage where we can install another three HDDs or SSDs.
