A Look at the Inside

With the side-panel removed you are presented with what turns out to be a relatively large work area where even my large hamhock hands felt comfortable working inside the case.  There is no motherboard tray, since you have this much room to work with the removable tray is not a necessity. Looking closely at the photograph you can see the wire holders that run down the entire length of the tray.

With the other side-panel removed you can see that there is not a great deal of room for wire management which kind of surprised me since Cooler Master is usually right on top of things like this.  There are some opening so you can run wires to the hard drives and such but that is about the extent of it.

Here is one feature that will make me overlook some of the other shortcomings we mentioned earlier.  On each side of the 5-1/4" drive bay you will find a row of screws that have been screwed into the metal of the drive cage, thereby you always have a screw handy when it comes time to mount a new drive or device, now that is thinking ahead!

Now don't let this picture confuse you,  I turned the case upside down so I could get a picture of the opening for the two 120mm fans that we will be installing prior to testing the case out.
