You can fit relatively big components inside. This case supports graphics cards up to 360 mm in length (or 341 mm with a front fan installed), and CPU coolers up to 169 mm in height. Liquid cooling enthusiasts will be ok with this product, as it’s possible to mount a combo of radiators of up to 360 + 240+ 2 x 120 mm (for the bottom mount to be available you need to remove the HDD cage.

The motherboard layout is traditional, and there’s a place for the PSU at the bottom of the chassis. The huge cut-out for your cooler’s backplate should make life easier. Typically (in older cases) you'd need to take out the motherboard to install a new cooler, and with the above-mentioned solution, you can reach it from both sides without that unpleasant experience of having to remove your motherboard from the chassis.

The biggest radiator is mounted at the front. In the standard setup - two 140 mm fans are installed there.

There is enough space to route cables behind the right panel (17-28 mm according to the manufacturer), and luckily there are rubber grommets on the three most important cut-outs. This includes the EPS one, which can be tricky in some other chassis, where you need to pre-route the cable before securing the motherboard inside the case. Two Velcro ties are attached there, so this should facilitate better cable management behind the motherboard tray.

The case has 7 PCI card slots, which are secured with thumbscrews.
