10x PCI slots (up to QUAD-SLI or QUAD-Crossfire)
9x HDD\SSD slots at stock in 3 toolless hot-swap cages (15 with 180 mm PSU and 2x additional HDD cages, each probably will cost 20$)
only one HDD cage have hop-swap sata backplane , but hot-swap pcb's will be available in stores for all cages, as many, as you need
up to 3 HDD cages at the bottom (with 180 mm PSU\PSU's or 2 cages with 360 front rad)
All HDD slots are toolless with anti-vibration mount
up to 2x 1200w (or FANLESS) 180 mm PSUs (Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200W) with 15 HDD's in the case at the same time
up to 2x 1200w 200 mm PSU's (Corsair AX1200\AX1200i) with 2x 240 rads at the bottom.
XL-ATX and HPTX compatibility (up to Rampage 4 Extreme or EVGA SR-X)
All HDD cages have holes for fans on both sides (push-pull, like in 400-500R and C70)
8x big grommeted cable holes in mb tray
9x open cable holes in mb tray
3x clickable big and strong cable holders (latches) at the back (like in C70 case)
2x bottom mesh side panels covers
PSU cables hole is under the MB tray
Rubber feet
Dual PSU's at the bottom
Max PSU length: any (180 mm with 15 HDD's)
Max CPU cooler height: any
Max GPU lenght: any
Dual bottom radiator mounting brackets for up to 480 or 420 rads
4x dust filters: clickable like in 650D at the front, sliding in sideways top mesh with filter and two magnetic like in 550D inside case at the mesh side panels
~1.25 inch (~30 mm) space for cables behind motherboard tray
Removable brushed aluminum front panel with open airflow on the sides
Window is shortly centered and with straight view cutting part of GPU"s and motherboard
Reset button is located behind the top 5.25 bay cover
The power button is a small horizontal bar in the top section of the I/O panel. The power and HDD LED are stealthed inside that power button.
Top of the case look like we can put two led stripes at the top: in front of the radiator and behind, that will light up even the ram sticks.
Looks like that top left corner with dots is a place for a push to open panel.
All side panels (4) can be opened just by pressing one button for each.
Bracket at the first bottom front HDD cage is not removable.
Radiators & WaterCooling:
Here is maximum practical and theoretical capacities before the case review and release
Top space: 110 mm (measured by George)
Bottom space: not more than 244 mm, maybe little less
Front space: ~55 mm, maybe little more (front fans are outside and not count)
4x120 mm (480) or 3x140 (420) 60 mm thick in push-pull at the top (first 5.25 bay will be mostly closed by radiator, fits 47 mm rad in push-pull and leaves ~10 mm space or more)
4x120 mm (480) or 3x140 (420) 60 mm thick in push-pull (maybe) at the bottom (with only one PSU)
2x120 mm (240) or 2x140 (280) 60 mm thick in push or pull at the bottom behind the 480\420 (depends on PSU lengh)
3x120 mm (360) 25-30 mm (maybe thicker) thick rad in push-pull at the front (Recommended by measurments and only with 360 at the bottom, also without 3 HDD cages at the front and HTPX will fit same time. The barbs don't fit if you mount the rad outside the chamber, so the radiator has to be mounted inside and the fans outside, which means that you're taking up the front HDD mount locations when you put a 360 in front.)
2x120 mm (240) 25-30 mm thick rad in push at the front (you can run a standard (25-30mm) thick 240 mm radiator and fans in front without encroaching on any HDD space inside the case, in mounts at the front behind the filter with fans in push)
about [240\280\480\420 "Monsta" 80 mm thick rads]: probably possible to fit with push or pull at the top, same config at the bottom + monsta 240\280 behind with push or pull. At the front will fit with push-pull but might be problem due to "maybe not removable" HDD cages bracket (at the first bottom front hdd cage) and with bottom rads due to 6 ports and stop plugs (fittings) at the bottom side (it might prevent mounting). Don't try it before somebody will test or measure.
Bottom radiators could be mounted (according to the photos) only with fittings on the left side (in direction to the psu's)
You can run the case without top panel in order to do "uncovered" push-pull for your radiator if you want the extra space.
EVGA SR-2 or SR-X should fit with 60 mm radiator at the top with push-pull but fans (in theory) might touch the RAM
Maximum cylindrical reservoir capacity: 250 ml (almost same height as the 7 PCi-E slot motherboard)
With four radiators we have no cages for HDD's. Solutions: "5.25 slots with cage or adapters" or Velcro double sided tape for mounting HDD's at the back (on motherboard tray, for example)!
Inlcuded:
3x HDD cages
10x PCI slot covers
4x 5.25 slot covers
2x bottom mesh side panels covers
1x PSU hole cover
3x front intake 120 mm fans (AF120L)
1x 140 mm rear exhaust fan (AF140L)
2x side panels grills metal covers
all black cables for the motherboard and USB ports
