What you get

At the front, you have space for up to 2 x 140 mm or 3 x 120 mm fans, and on top – another 2 x 140 mm or 2 x 120 mm, plus one at the back, allowing for a well-balanced airflow throughout the case. The included four PWM fans give you a good start – you have direct cooling for the GPU and overall exhaust at the back without immediately thinking about additional purchases. With a maximum 178 mm height for the cooler, you can comfortably use a massive air CPU cooler. For the graphics card, you have up to 368 mm length, which covers most modern longer GPU models. The PSU length of up to 200 mm allows room for more powerful and longer power supplies, as long as you plan the cables wisely.

Who it is suitable for
