Oh gawd, white chassis are so horrible to photograph in a white photo studio. Now, if we peek at the backside we notice that at the top, another fan is located, a 140 mm AF140L exhaust fan that comes factory installed. You'll notice that the chassis has 9 expansion slots for maximum multi-GPU compatibility, this will allow you to go for two or three SLI / Crossfire configurations. All standard ATX and Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX board types obviously fit fine as well as Extended ATX and even XL-ATX form factor motherboards. At the bottom we see space for one power supply.

Back to the top side again, the top side cover is a big panel that can be removed, that is all about ventilation alright. We'll look at it in more detail later though.

Front panel IO - As you'll notice, all down below is a power button with HDD LED activity, to the right a reset button and 3.5 mm headphone and microphone jacks. In Guru3D blue, two USB 3.0 ports and to the left of it, 2x USB 2.0 ports. Lovely to see is a build in fan controller. It offers three perf modes slow, normal and Hyper-Drive RPM ... ;)

Moving back to the top we can see that we can easily remove the top panel which gives access to a huge mesh. Quite important, it allows us access to a plethora of fan mounts or to store stuff when the girlfriend unexpected enters your room :) On its end it can also used to create extra airflow. Obviously you could also make one kick-ass liquid cooling solution here and mount a nice phat radiator. You could install 140/280 and even full length 360 mm radiators.

From up top we move to the bottom, the chassis rests on four rubber feet to prevent it from resonating. The chassis is not too heavy, there's just no way it would resonate whatsoever. To the left we see a removable dust filter as wel as to the right.
