Let's have a look at the interior. You will notice that the design is a bit different.  The main compartment accommodates up to E-ATX motherboards and GPUs up to 431 mm in length with the pre-installed fans. Apart from the PSU-at-the-top architecture, one of the Torrent's primary selling points is the five integrated fans.

The chassis includes two 180mm, 38mm thick fans at the front, as well as three 140mm spinners at the bottom for additional intake. Both locations include huge, easily detachable air filters, and in our instance, all fans feature RGB lights. The main section is nearly completely empty. Due to the fact that the power supply compartment does not extend all the way to the front, cages cannot be used to store hard drives. Rather than that, you can store two 3.5 "Drives that can be hidden under the motherboard if they are still required.  You can double the number with 2.5" SSDs.

The motherboard tray is extremely sturdy, with four rubber-sealed ports and several slits for cable ties. Additionally, the brackets for 2.5" and 3.5" drives are joined to the motherboard plate through metal tabs, which results in a less-than-sleek appearance. Processor coolers can be installed up to a height of 188mm, and the video card can be as long as 461mm without front-facing fans.

Even if the 180mm fans are removed from the front, the video card can still be 423mm long: this is not a reasonable constraint. Maximum space for the power supply is 230mm, we recommend max 170mm for some room for cables - but with a 150mm deep power supply, this should not be a concern.
