A Closer Look – Interior


The interior of the Project 7 is nice and clean, with a large cut-out behind the motherboard for mounting your CPU cooler, a tall covered cut-out for cable routing, and a full-length PSU shroud to help hide those unsightly cables.

In the top, you’ll find mounts for 2 x 120mm for or a radiator up to 240mm. There’s a good amount of clearance here too, which should make water cooling hardware easier to install, and there are a few cable routing cutouts to help keep things neat and tidy.

In the rear, a pre-installed 120mm fan is setup to remove heat from the chassis, but this could easily be swapped out for a 120mm radiator or AIO cooler if you wanted to.

There are seven expansion slots, with plenty of width to spare, so wider cards shouldn’t be an issue here.

If you love showing off your new SSDs, you’ll find two removable brackets on the shroud to keep them out on display, while the less visually appealing 3.5″ drives mount under the shroud.

Towards the front of the shroud, you’ll find a large cutaway, which will help you accommodate a full-height front panel radiator or extra fans.

Since there are no hard drive bays towards the front of the chassis, there’s a freaking huge amount of room for extra-long expansion cards, although this will be reduced if you install a thicker radiator, it’s unlikely even the biggest cards on the market will have trouble fitting here.

Behind the motherboard tray, you’ll find a reasonable amount of room for cable routing, although the PSU shroud means that most of the excess cable can be stored in the base of the chassis, so you won’t need too much space anyway. There’s also a good arrangement of cable tie loops dotted around the back, giving you lots of places to tie your cables down and keep things tidy.

Tucked towards the front, you’ll find two 3.5″ drive mounts. They are mounted a little away from the front panel so not to conflict with the fan/radiator mounts on the front panel. The whole bay is removable too, so if you don’t need it, you can free up extra room for a pump or excess cables.

The PSU has a good amount of room in the base, and there are four thick rubber mounts to help reduce any unwanted vibrations from the PSU.

The front and top panels can be pulled off, giving you access to the mounts, while the front panel also houses a full-height washable dust filter.
