Interior

The case comes with some pretty cool features that you typically don’t see in this price range. The PSU shroud can be accessed from either side of the case without the use of tools. It’s held shut by some properly strong magnets, so just give it a tug and it pulls down. This gives you access to the HDD bays, PSU area, etc.

There are three tool-free drive trays here. Plus, if you buy the optional HDD mount, you can make all of these hot-swappable; handy if you’re building a server.

Once you pull down that lower shroud door, you can then get your hand under the glass and open out the side panel. They’ve on hinges, and also held shut with strong magnets. So no tools, and quick and easy access to your rig. Plus, if you need to, you can lift the glass up off the hinges and put it to one side.

There’s loads of room in here too, as all the HDD bays are tucked out of the way. This is good news for those wanting to install huge graphics cards and thick radiators.

The PSU shroud features loads of ventilation on the top, and there’s even a couple of 120mm mounts on there should you really need them. Plus, there are two massive cable routing cut-outs, so getting cables to the motherboard shouldn’t be an issue.

There’s plenty of width in the case to accommodate wider graphics cards, as well as any custom loop hardware. I love that there’s a slight cut-out to the back of the frame too, allowing your screwdriver to easily reach those screws.

In the back, there’s a 120mm Lian Li fan pre-installed. It’s all blacked out, rather than RGB, but it does have some rubber anti-vibration mounts too, it’s a good quality fan overall. Plus, there’s another located on the top too.

There’s a third one in the front also. That’s pretty sweet to get three pre-installed. However, I think I’d take the top one and put it as two fans in the front, but that’s just me.

The front panel will hold a massive radiator should you need it. The shroud does restrict the size, but there’s a removable panel here so you can really go to town with full-height and thick radiators.
