Product showcase – interior

On the top, there is a solid aluminium panel with plastic mesh on the sides. Normally no fans are installed there.

A filling port for liquid cooling systems has been placed near the centre of the panel.

There is more than enough space to route cables, including the EPS one, which can be tricky in some other cases where you need to pre-route it before securing the motherboard. Native E-ATX motherboard support makes this easier for sure.

 Under the rear fan, there are 7 PCI card slots (secured with thumbscrews), and 3 vertical ones.

There is no mesh for the PSU to suck in fresh air through, but there is a cut-out that exposes the unit, and you can also find a plastic flap in the PSU shroud for PCI-Express cables to pass through. There is also a huge hole for cooling solution backplates, which should make life easier during the installation of a cooler.

In theory, there is no length limit for the PSU when the HDD cages are not installed. It’s the best to stay below 170-180 mm if you want to use them.
