A Closer Look – Interior
The plastic side panel comes off using the four thumb screws, which isn’t the quickest but it’s not like you’ll need in here every day. There’s a small CPU cooler mounting cut out behind the motherboard, which should do the job, but some motherboards may need removing for a cooler change. There are a few cable routing holes too, but not a lot and they’re quite small.
Towards the front, there are three 3.5″ drive bays with a locking slide mechanism and a single 2.5″ drive on the top.
There are no drive bays in the middle, freeing up a huge amount of space for extra-long graphics cards, as well as giving you more direct airflow from the front panel fans.
At the top, two 5.25″ drive bays, as well as an additional hard drive bay.
In the back, a single 120mm fan is pre-installed, although you could easily swap that our for a 120mm radiator if needed.
There are seven expansion slots, which come with cheaper snap-off covers, but there are a few extra screw-on covers included in the box should you need to replace one.
Around the back, there’s very little space for cable routing, but keep in mind that the rear panel has a raised section, which should help a great deal. There’s a simple fan connector setup here too, powered by Molex so you can easily hook up extra fans.
