On the top side we see a very decent mesh which helps with ventilation, and the Nano S. Obviously you can mount fans or a radiator here. A 240 mm radiator would make the most sense to install in there, though space wise... you might want to opt a big-tower instead of a small tower.

But hey, with all the funky LCS kits available these days, the sky is the limit. The mesh is covered by a sound dampening lid, which Fractal Design calls ModuVent as in modular ventilation, you can remove the unit... get it ? ;) Front panel connectors: You'll have the basics here including MIC/Headphones, two USB 3.0 ports or also called USB 3.1 Gen 1 therse days (sighs). Also here we have a power on/off button and reset switch as well as small activity LEDs.

The entire front panel is removable with clip on fan slots, behind it is a dust filter for this dust filler. Internals then. The photos are pretty dark, so bare with me. First impression, you get quite a bit of room to work in for a ITX sized tower. The second thought would be the all black design, that looks good in contrast with the white elements, including cables and connectors.

Check out the vertical looks, no storage you might wonder? Well, the chassis can hold two 3.5" drives and two 2.5" drives but there is no physical "bay" for storage though. These are located in the backside. We'll show you that in the next few pages, e.g. where we "hang" the SSD and HDD storage units. That said, I love the clean looks for something so tiny as this chassis is only (WxHxD): 203 x 330 x 400 mm. BTW it is not a cheapo light chassis, this puppy weighs in at 4.6 kg and can hold nearly 27 liters of milk (yeah I tried!).
