Now that we have the side panel off we can see what is going on inside this chassis, starting at the top right we have a pair of quick release clips on the 5.25″ drive bays for quick installations, an open and removable drive bay below that for your 3.5″ drives and a pair of drive trays at the bottom for use with either 3.5″ or 2.5″ drives.

To the back of the chassis you can see there is a pre-installed 120mm fan and the chassis also features an extra wide cut out behind the motherboard to help with CPU cooler installations.

In the top of the chassis there is an extra patch of sound proofing foam, in front of which you can also see the PCB for the top I/O panel, as well as the quick release SATA bay connections below that.

The front panel comes with 2 x 120mm fans installed, with airflow being provided via a set of grooves cut into the edges of the front panel, which will be needed as with the front panel closed there would be zero airflow making it to these fans.

With the back panel off we can clearly see the cable management options available here, with 2 vertical cut-outs in the middle of the chassis and one large horizontal one at the bottom, all fitted with rubber grommets to keep things looking tidy. There is also a custom PCB in the bottom left, more on that in a moment.

Behind the two removable drive bays you will find a board with a 4 pin molex and two SATA connections on its right hand side, this provides connection for your SATA hard drives by simply sliding the drive tray into the chassis, meaning you can install and remove drives without worrying about the cables to the rear of the chassis, very handy if you need to swap out drives quickly.

Each side panel comes heavily lined with noise absorbing foam, the one on the left is from the rear of the chassis and features flat foam, while the one on the right features a much heavier bumped foam, this should help keep noise pollution to a minimum.
