Interior


The interior of the chassis has been given the same powder black paint finish as the exterior; giving the chassis a nice uniform appearance. There is a small CPU cooler mounting cut-out on the motherboard back-plate, and a few cable routing cut-outs of various sizes around the sides of the motherboard. There are also some pre-fitted motherboard stand-offs; all of these should ease the installation process.

There are two dust filters mounted into the base of the chassis, although I have no idea why they’re here, since you would then have to remove your PSU and/or bottom mounted cooling solutions to properly clean the filters; put them on the outside next time BitFenix!

The cable routing cut-outs do not feature rubber grommets, but they do have smooth edges to prevent your cables from snagging.

There is a good quality BitFenix 120mm fan in the back of the chassis, fitted with a standard 3-pin header and a black cable.

The storage bays are fixed in place and come fitted with a tool-free twist lock mounting system; a little old school, but it does the job. There are 3 x 5.25″ drive bays and 7 x 3.5″ drive bays, obviously these will only support 2.5″ drives with an adaptor bracket (not included), but there is also a single 2.5″ drive mount on the base of the chassis.

Around the back you’ll find very little room for cable routing, although there is extra space behind the storage bays and if you take a little extra care, you should be able to bundle excess cables here.

This side of the storage bays are tool free, but there are screw holes and mounts here should you need to secure your drives further.
