Fitting a system inside this chassis is embarrassingly easy. There’s a vast amount of space to work with and we doubt you’ll run into any compatibility issues here. Cable management is comprehensive, and there are routing holes everywhere you would want them to help you achieve a clean-looking build with minimal effort.
There are some routing holes below the GPU, which are perfect for cards which have side-loading power connectors, as it minimises cable trail.
Our Cooler Master CPU cooler is quite tall, but that’s of little concern here, as there’s enough room for any of the largest enthusiast air-coolers on the market, and then some. Those fitting radiators in the top will find plenty of room for a slim rad and fans, and there’s a huge amount of clearance to the back fan mount too, so custom-loop and AIO coolers will be a breeze to install.
The length of the GPU certainly isn’t a problem here, and the biggest cards on the market should fit with ease. There’s even room for thick radiators with push/pull fans if you want them. The GPU support that came pre-installed is cool, but proved a little more troublesome to arrange and since our GPU is quite rigid, I opted to remove it anyway, but it’s nice to have the option for it.
There’s a red LED light bar here, which is mounted using a magnetic strip on the base.
When powered up, it gives a stunning warm red glow that matches the interior of the chassis very nicely.
Of course, if you don’t like the placement of it, just find somewhere else to put it and it’ll snap right into place with ease; like we did here on the front edge of the chassis.
With all panels back in place, you can barely see the interior components of the chassis, as the window tinting is quite dark.
The camera had a hard time seeing through, but in real life you can see just a little more through the glass.
Power up the system and any LED lighting you have cuts through that window tint beautifully. You can see the red traces on our motherboard, the lights on the GPU and the light bar with ease.
The light bar is bright, but not overly harsh and creates a warm glow throughout the chassis.
In a dark room, it even adds a soft glow to the top panel ventilation.
Finally, with the power on, the front I/O panel comes to life and the once unlabeled inputs and controls become much more apparent. There are LED lit logos showing you the lighting controls, fan controller and USB ports, which looks even cooler in a very dark room.
