The chassis is very slick unpacked, with what appears to be more than ample space for hard drives, fans and a full size graphics card. Two 120mm fans are included also situated in the front and rear of the chassis.
The panel on top doesn’t include fans and we have tried a couple of Corsair Air fans for size which turned out to be too tall, you can still mount them in the top of the chassis, just inside instead of hidden.
The top grill does contain a dust filter, as does the PSU ventilation underneath. As you can see from the pictures, this has a base mounted PSU, a full ATX PSU at that, in its own compartment. We have some measurements on the next page and a part modular PSU in the test build, we hope this will give an idea of the space you need to accommodate a full ATX PSU.

There is not too much for us to say, we love it. This chassis is aimed at a builder who will not go SLi or Crossfire. That’s ok, the high end graphics cards can handle all games without too much of an issue, at appropriate settings. PSU and oversized components are the only issue with this chassis, and not having an optical drive, but who has one of those things!
