To the left you can see that you'll get 8 PCI slots to play around with so in theory you can house up-to four graphics cards in here. The first two (dual-slot) graphics cards can even be up to 450mm in length but will need to meet certain requirements:

Graphic card
347mm
 
338mm minus reservoir diameter (reservoir bracket installed)
 
472mm (without HDD Cages)
CPU cooler
193mm
 
Motherboards wise you can install quite a bit, as long as the form factor is ATX, EATX, mATX or SSI EEB. You have lots of space and mounts, you could mount up-to 12 attachable fans really.

You secure the graphics cards or other cards with a thumbscrew. At the top side we can see the two 140mm silent fans, these are included and installed for you already. In the topside upper mesh you'll notice that mounting holes for other fan and radiator solutions, and it's already been prepped with a 140mm fan. There is very decent space on the backside to route all cabling through. We'll show you that in a bit.

Mounting a HDD could not be easier, the drive bay bracket on the sides has alatch, you place it in an open position and then mounts the HDD secure. It has rubber inserts to prevent resonating noises from the HDD. Lock them in and slide the unit into the drive bay until you hear a click.

These brackets can also hold a 2.5" SSD, then on the bottom side you need to secure it with four mounting screws. It's a very simply solution really, but there's nothing wrong with simple as long as it's functional and effective. And it certainly works just fine. You can house a 6 3.5" HDDs (2x 3 HDD cages)

Internal 3.5"
6 (2x 3 HDD cages)
Internal 2.5"
7 (2x 3 HDD cages + 2x SSD brackets )

The PSU ventilation mesh and dust filter is removable and thus easy to clean out. And zooming in at the bottom here a little, we see that the chassis rests on rubber mounts, this prevents resonating noises coming from the PC, and makes your chassis more silent.
