Internal Overview
Removing the side panel reveals the complete black interior, including hardware. The motherboard tray features a couple of cable management clips, built-in motherboard standoffs and a CPU cooler cutout. The motherboard tray supports CPU coolers with a maximum height of 180mm and graphics cards with a maximum length of 305mm.
Towards the front of the case is the 90 degree rotated HDD cage. The cage holds up to seven drives; the topmost slot is used for the SideClick EasySwap. Each drive tray is easily removed and installs in a snap.
Above the HDD cage is an external 3.5” drive and three external 5.25” drives. The 5.25” drives have their own unique latching system to secure the drives in place with a tool-free installation.
Towards the rear of the case are the seven expansion slots with reusable vented covers. Above that is the rear 120mm black exhaust fan and top 200mm blue LED exhaust fan.
The bottom of the case has a movable power supply bar, allowing you to correctly install even the most lengthy power supplies. An optional 120mm intake fan can also be installed on the bottom of the case. The case comes with semi-sorted hardware in different bags along with the User’s Manual.
I would have liked to see a larger cooler installed to see if the square hole is large enough to mount the back plate.And also to see if a large cooler would hit the top fan like other Thermaltake cases.
It is large enough to mount the backplate:

No fans are pre-installed (on the side panel), so you shouldn’t have any problems with height. Thermaltake has included a maximum height of CPU coolers to not exceed 180mm in height.
