Also the internal layout looks familiar. There's plenty of room for long power supplies, and the distance between the rear and the middle support beams is 27 cm. This isn't enough for the longest of graphic cards, but the open frame means the card can freely stick to the drive cages without really interfering with anything.

With also the right side panels removed, one can see the rear side of the motherboard tray. There are some hooks and cable ties for cable organizing, but oddly enough no hole for the 4/8-pin CPU power cable to pass through at the top. The hole for installing a CPU cooler is large enough for all boards.

At the rear the modular design means that the power supply and motherboard tray can be moved around. There's also a removable motherboard tray that slides out after unscrewing five small screws from the rear.

Here's just one example of how the drive cage can be set up. Here one of the 5,25" bays has been moved lower and it's now facing the left side rather than front. The fans as well as the 5,25" cover plates are all held in place with two screws and the 5,25" drive rails are each held with just one, so moving all this stuff around required undoing a total of six screws. Not bad.
