Also the roof has received the same treatment as the side panels, and the dual 120/140 mm fan holes are actually pressed above the rest of the panel. In front of the fans there’s a plastic panel to match the front bezel and also a handle for carrying the case around.

To conclude the tour around the case, here’s the bottom. Around the corners are four feet with rubber pads to prevent scratches on surfaces. There’s also a larger dust filter that covers not only the power supply, but also yet another 120/140 mm fan mount in front of it.

I’ve never liked these bottom dust filters that need to be removed through the back, because I for one have always had my PC’s with the back facing a wall, which makes removing the dust filter awkward at best and impossible at worst.

With the side panels out of the way we can see that the internal layout is almost identical to that of the Obsidian 650D, with just a few small differences. First of all the HDD-bay is now in one piece and can’t be split. This does limit the maximum length of a graphic card, but there’s still room for cards up to 334 mm in length. The other difference is the smaller number of holes for cable managing, the 400R can’t house an EATX board, and there are no dedicated holes for mATX, either.

From behind it’s the same thing, plenty of room for cables, but not quite as many holes to put them through. When you take into consideration that also the right side panel is pressed to shape, there should be no problems fitting all the excess cables behind the motherboard tray.
