At the backside usually we stumble into a CPU back-plate cutout. That is not the case with this... ehm case. See Fractal Design needed a proper solution for SSD storage, hence at that spot is where we hang them. Nice to see is the extra space for cable routing. To the left you can see the vertical mounts for HDD storage, we'll hang em like hangman, brah.

At the inner back/side we can see the 120 mm fan, it is included and installed for you already. In the upper mesh you'll notice that mounting holes for other fan and radiator solutions have already been prepped. Despite the size you'll get plenty of rad options. And I do mean rad as in radiator, but also radically nice. 

  • Front: 2 – 120/140 mm fans (included is 1 Fractal Design Dynamic GP14 fan, 1000 RPM speed)
  • Rear: 1 – 120 mm fan (included is 1 Fractal Design Dynamic GP12 fan, 1200 RPM speed)
  • Top: 2 - 120/140 mm fan (not included) 
  • Bottom: 1 – 120 mm fan (not included)
  • Dust filters: Bottom and front intakes
  • Front – 120/240 mm, 140/280 mm (max width 147, length 312; some radiators extend beyond the screw holes)
  • Top – 120/240 mm (max component height on motherboard 35mm. Big heatsinks on RAM or power regulators around CPU could conflict with this restriction)
  • Bottom – 120 mm (max thickness & length: 85mm x 160mm)
  • Pre-drilled holes on multi-bracket, supports many DDC and D5 variants (see manual for detailed measurements)
  • Adjustable mounting brackets allow for almost any rectangular mounting screw pattern. Maximum distance between the mounting bracket screw positions: 270 mm height / 80 mm width.

You'll get 2 PCI expansion slots to play around with, so in theory you can house one graphics cards in here. Graphics cards up to 315 mm in length with front fans mounted (wider than the dual slot bracket are not recommended). I like to make one side-note here, CPU coolers can be up to 160 mm in height so you need to pick carefully. I massively would recommend a simple LCS cooler space and looks wise.
