In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the fan options for the case, mentioning that it can accommodate three 120mm fans or two 140mm fans. They caution that mounting a 120mm fan near the front can reduce airflow. Moving on to the top section, they highlight the plastic top with a nylon mesh underneath and mention the possibility of installing either two 120mm fans or two 140mm fans. The speaker also touches on radiator options and clarifies the limitations of 240mm radiators. They demonstrate inserting a power supply, emphasizing that it is not included with the case and discuss the clearance for graphics cards.

In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to remove the side panels of the chassis by unscrewing them and pulling them upward. The panel is well-made with solid mesh and good paint job. The interior of the chassis offers plenty of room for components, including options for mounting SSDs or hard drives on a protective section. The power supply area allows for Cable Management, although it may be challenging with an ATX power supply. The chassis supports ATX, Micro ATX, and ITX motherboards, with a larger-than-average power supply depth of about 170 mm.
