Here we can see the backside. Again lots of meshes and room for more fans, ventilation is everything with a compact design chassis. Mind you that you need a small PSU, we'll get into that later as Silverstone supplied pretty much the perfect one. You need to order it separately from the chassis though, it does not come as optional.

Notice that the GD06 has four expansion slots with vented covers, look to your right and just above the PSU another expansion slot is placed horizontally. It's handy as you may use it to say installing I/O bracket like for extra USB ports.

The bottom side then, check out the mesh for PSU cooling. Nice touch. All rubber feet, there's just no chance in hell this thing is gonna resonate or vibrate, sorry ladies.

Looking at the inside of the chassis here, you screw off the top with three screws. Basically you'll now see three compartments. One for the optical drive, slide it in and secure it. One compartment for HDDs, and then there is the lower compartment for the motherboard, PCI cards and PSU.

To reach and to be able to install the motherboard and the rest of the components you can remove the HDD  and optical bay by removing a few screws. Nothing complex or difficult.

Here we remove the optical drive bay, you remove a couple of tiny screws and you can lift it upwards.
