Interior


With the left side panel removed we see that there is a huge amount of space in the top section of the chassis, this is great because it frees up a lot of clearance for large CPU coolers, or thick radiators in the top and/or front of the chassis. The lower half looks pretty cramped, but as I said before, this chassis isn’t as small as it looks and there’s still a three bay 3.5″/2.5″ drive caddy and room for an ATX PSU behind that.

The motherboard stand-offs are built into the chassis, which should speed up the installation process.

On the right side, you’ll find you have even more access to the top compartment and some extra 2.5″ drive mounts on the side.

Each of the three 2.5″ mounts can be removed with a single thumb screw and there’s even a few extra screw holes to allow you to adjust the position of each bracket to suit your needs.

The drive mounts lift out easy enough, but you’ll need to remove all of them while installing your PSU, as it slides in from the right side of the chassis. You can alternatively install the PSU by removing the bottom panel.

Each tray is tool free, but there are two screw holes to help you further secure your drives into place.

Behind the top panel, you’ll find four clip-in rails with a multitude of mounting holes, perfect for fans and radiators. These rails are adjustable and removable, allowing you to best fit them to the needs of your build, or to allow for the chassis to be stacked.

With the bottom cover removed you can get better access to the drive caddy, which can also be completely removed via three simple screws.

With the drive caddy removed you free up more space for stuffing extra cables, or anything else you would want to put here; something that will no doubt please the modding community.

The caddy is fitted with three slide-out trays, each supports 2.5″ or 3.5″ drives.

Behind the front panel, you’ll find a large ventilated panel with a wide range of fan and radiator mounting holes, as well as a massive 200mm fan.
