And at the backside, there is a lower compartment holding the PSU, an HDD bay, and some snazzy cable routing features. The first thing you'll notice is that you'll stumble into a door at the rear motherboard tray side door/cover. It cleans up cable routing and hides cables from being visible through the right-side mesh in the panel.

The photo turned out a bit too dark, but once you open the door/cover you'll see some pretty dandy cable routing features and storage options. To the lower right, the PSU compartment, you can mount SSDs (the chassis can hold four in total) and you will also find another two HDDs cages for three HDDs each down below in the cage. You can spot two cable-management guides which employ the dense, Corsair-branded Velcro ties. Three of them are pre-installed to hold the pre-routed cables in place. We had already inserted a PSU here, and as you can see, I am struggling a bit with cable routing, behind the door you get roughly 2.5cm of spacing. It's not bad, but not a lot either.

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).

Meet the NODE Commander PRO XT. This RGB/FAN hub now also has thermal probe sensors. It is the heart of the chassis feeding everything and anything towards iCUE software, you simply hook it up to USB towards your mobo, and it feeds off a SATA power connector.

Included is another small fan hub, you'll notice there are six additional connectors left that you can make use of giving you exceptional many fan control.

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