Right, as stated on the first page, tempered glass with a white photo studio are two things that do not mix well with each other, hang in there with me.

At the top, the front panel connectivity can be found, including 2x USB 3.0, but also a USB 3.1 Gen-2 Type-C front I/O. Next to that, power, reset, headphone and mic. There's no fan controller.

Small note, there is no place for 5.25" drives, so optical units are a thing of the past. Other than that you can house two HDDs and up-to three SSDs. Water cooling options are possible:

  • Front 280 / 360 mm fan tray: With mounts for 3 x 120 mm fans or 2 x 140 mm fans, the front can support a 240, 280, or 360 mm radiator. 
  • The top cover can house 2 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans, with room for a 240 mm radiator, a 280 mm radiator can also fit.
  • Rear 120 mm fan and/or rad.

You'll notice dust filters on the front, top, and bottom. They are held magnetically in place. So from the inside, you can just take them out. And the front panel, that airflow gap? Put your fingers in there and you can pull out the dust filter there as well.
