The chassis has easy access dust filters. At the top cover, on the inside you just grab it, take it out and clean it. Little magnets hold them in place, so you can precisely pop them back in as well.

Basically, you just grab the filter and pull it out. Only the magnets keep it in place. It makes cleaning these an easy job, pull them out, vacuum clean them and re-insert.

It is very similar to the front side panel, the three fans have a dust filter cover here as well, again held in place with magnets so you can simply pull it out. And sure, it offers easy access to the fans or your radiator then as well.

The rubberized feet will help against any vibration. Here again, a dust filter is located at the PSU intake area, this one you can just pull out and clean.

As you can see, the 500D is equipped with mounting trays in the back, as well as a separated power supply compartment. To the left, you can "hang" two HDDs, to the right you can see mounts for three SSDs. Very clean looks BTW, but let's zoom in a little.

So cable routing wise you have just 2cm available depending on where and how you measure. The downside is that you can see the cabling due to the glass, the good thing, however, is that Corsair accounted for that and you can cover up all main wiring.

Power supplies may be up to 225 mm, however, the compartment is almost 28 cm. This was done deliberately so that you can hide excess cables inside that compartment.
