Interior

Let's open this beatiful tower up and get inside.  Opening the left panel, you can see the 230mm side fan.  Taking off the top panel, you can see that you have the ability to mount three 120mm fans inside the top, or underneath (inside the tower), or if you really want you could excessively mount three inside, and set three under the cover :D  This is why I said that it was not needed for for the water cooling grommets, as you could mount a 3x radiator in this space.

This is a closer view of the top back portion of the tower.  Three main features.  In the top middle, you can see the screw that holds the top cover in place.  Just below that you can see the water cooling grommets.  On the left and right there are levers that open the side panels.  The right image shows you the inside of the left panel.  The 230mm fan is fixed to the mesh panel, which is fixed to the side panel.

Here you can see the grain of the side panels close up.  Trust me the photos do not do it justice.  With the right panel of you can see all of the spaces to hide and route cabling.  There is a good half an inch of space behind the motherboard, and three fourths of an inch behind the 5.25" bays.

Here are the tool free clips for the 5.25" bays.  They are spring loaded pins, actuated by the buttons in the middle.  Press to lock, press to unlock, that simple.  In the right image you can see inside the bays, the IO headers, and how the accesories are secured, in a box taped into the hard drive cage.

This shot shows the two included 120mm fans, the removable air filter for the power supply.  The included cooling works great, with four total large fans, but this tower can handle so much more!  You can also see the three clips that hold the side panel in place.  They really do feel secure when the panel is in place.  The right shot shows the 24 pin extension.  It is both needed for most power supplies to route the cables behind the motherboard, and it has an inline tap to power the touch sensitive power button.
