More Details: The top the case has been changed up a little. There's still a top accessory tray of sorts for whatever reason you find. The 200mm blue LED fan housing gets raised just a little to help free up internal space. The fan can be controlled via two separate switches located on the back along with the other 120mm fan switches. One switch controls the speed and the other turns the LEDs on or off.
We're going in! You can see that the inside of the case continues the black theme. Everything inside is at least black, gray, or dark red so as to not clash or remove the cool look. Again, the only things not black are the thumb screws holding in three removable drive bays. The motherboard area supports up to a standard ATX. It sits atop the area where the Power Supply will actually mount.
This design helps free up a little space for the hard drives and make wiring a little easier to manage. It also can make connecting case wires to the motherboard's headers a lot easier. Typically, a motherboard mounts so low to the bottom of the chassis, it gets a little tricky getting your big hands in install wires. There's not going to be a problem like that with this case.
Three drive bays are removable and slide out the front once you remove the thumbscrews. Remember to disconnect the fan's power wire first whenever you remove the bay. You can easily add the drives needed and fasten them in place with screws. Then, the drive just needs slid back in to place and thumb screwed in place. There is also a shroud mounted to the top bay for an optional 120mm fan.
Now, usually nothing eventful happens with the back side of the motherboard tray. After removing the side panel, there is enough room to run your wires if you want to hide them and clean up the inside of the case a bit. There's plenty of cut outs to position wires and components any way you want.
One extra feature worth noting is the the water cooling platform for a reservoir or pump. That appears to be the upper most bay where a small 5.25" tray is attached. If you want to use this bay for anything, you'll have to remove the tray. Otherwise, this should come in handy if you need the space. Also, the two grommet holes in the back can help simplify managing the tubing if you have an external component like the radiator or external water cooling system.
