Let's have a look at the interior. You will notice that the design is a bit different.  The main compartment accommodates up to ATX motherboards and GPUs up to 431 mm in length with the pre-installed fans. Apart from the PSU-at-the-bottom architecture, one of the primary selling points are the three integrated RGB fans.

As you can see, the main section is nearly completely empty. The power supply compartment extends all the way to the front, behind it you hard drives / SSDs can be stored. You can store three 3.5"  and then two 2.5" SSDs.

The motherboard tray is extremely sturdy, with several slits for cable ties. Additionally, for 2.5" and 3.5" drives are joined to the motherboard plate through metal gaps, which results in a less-than-sleek appearance. Processor coolers can be installed up to a height of roughly 185 mm, and the video card can be extended to even over 40cm without front-facing fans or complex radiators.

Even if the 180mm fans are removed from the front, the video card can still be almost 40cm long: this is a reasonable constraint. The maximum space for the power supply is 250mm, we recommend a max 170mm PSUs for some room for cables - but with a 150mm deep power supply, this should not be a concern and you'll have plenty of cable routing options.

This is the top side in an angle photo from the inside, here you can add a 240mm radiator. There is a big motherboard gap so you can easily swap out cooling without the need to remove the motherboard. Overall the chassis felt extremely sturdy.
