Two dedicated 2.5 inch mounts and two combined 3.5/2.5 inch trays are included for storage drives.

The case ships with a mesh side panel instead of a window and includes front dust filters. Front panel ports comprise one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, two USB 3.0 and two audio jacks. Two 140 mm Aspect PWM fans are pre-installed at the front; additional mounts support up to eight 120 mm or six 140 mm fans across front, top, rear and side bracket locations.

Sustained Load Cooling Capacity

Radiator support allows up to 360 mm or 280 mm at the front, 240 mm at the top with a 35 mm RAM height limit, and 120 mm at the rear when the side bracket sits in its lowest position. The CPU cooler clearance reaches 145 mm with the fan bracket or 170 mm total, while the power supply mount at the bottom accepts units up to 255 mm long.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the two Aspect 140 mm PWM fans are running after I build in the case?

Power on the system and check that both front 140 mm fans spin; verify their speeds in BIOS or fan-control software and feel airflow through the walnut front panel.

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The case includes two Aspect 140 mm PWM fans, two 3.5"/2.5" drive trays, two dedicated 2.5" mounts, a front dust filter and all mounting hardware; you must purchase a power supply, CPU cooler, motherboard, GPU, storage drives and any extra fans or radiators.

Which drive-bay configuration should I choose for my storage needs?

Use the two included 3.5"/2.5" trays for up to two 3.5" drives, add the two dedicated 2.5" mounts for SSDs, and buy one more tray if you need a third 3.5" bay.
