    Case Layout and Features Continued

    The front panel snaps off to provide a good look at the front fan mounts. The entire front includes a removable filter to control dust intake.   The front will also hold a 2 x 120mm radiator (or 1 x 240mm / 280mm / 360mm).

    The back 140mm fan location is also designed to hold a smaller 1 x 120/140mm radiator as needed. Even the venting is designed to maximize passive airflow through the panels and the expansion slots.

    All this space will fit a CPU heatsink up to 167mm and video cards up to 415mm deep. No mods required.

    Almost an inch of space behind the motherboard tray provides plenty of room to hide those pesky cables from the windowed side.  Three hinged, tool-less 2.5” SSDD mounts provide hidden storage across the front. SilverStone has even included some Velcro cable management and ample rubber grommets to get you started.

    An additional set of three tool-less 3.5/2.5” drive bays are safely tucked away behind the bottom cover.  There is a gap of about 2 inches between the bays and that bottom fan for airflow though removing the tray would be a pretty easy mod if you no longer need those older drive sizes.

    Removing the front bezel reveals ample side venting with some structural support down the middle.   The lighting looks easy enough to replace with something custom or a nice RGB set to complement your build lighting.  I do wonder if modding some of the supports would increase airflow without adversely affecting the strength for a good radiator installation.
