At the backside of the motherboard tray area we can see all the upper storage unit bays a little better. You'll get five 5.25" drive bays and down deck the six 3.5 hard drive bays with 2.5 compatibility.

Optical (5.25") storage wise you just slide in the unit and click it in secure. That's time saving stuff as it is tool free. Again one of the very simple yet very handy features this chassis has to offer. You can install up-to three 5.25" devices. So above, as you can see at the backside, is plenty of space for cable routing; a huge plus.

Admittedly, I like the design very much, simple yet aesthetically very pleasing. All the wiring that you see already has been done for you. Very handy are the Velcro wraps so you can easily lead and sure cables. The small PCB functions as a fan hub to all other attached units on the back of the motherboard tray. One feature to note is that the PWM functionality of a motherboard PWM header is used for all connected 3-pin fans. So you use just one wire from your motherboard, define the PWM / RPM in the BIOS and then all other fans will follow that profile. Quite clever as it prevents cable clutter.

At the bottom side we can see the mounting area for the PSU, you will need to mount is vertically. You'll be able to install several sizes of PSUs. So, should you feel a need to install a 1200W (longer) PSU at one point in time, then that will be possible as there is plenty of space for it.
