Beneath the motherboard tray is room for a power supply, two 5.25" and two 3.5" drives. a 92 mm fan is placed to sufficiently cool these devices. There's room for a total of seven expansion cards, under which graphics cards with lenghts of 28 cm (11 inch). The case has two USB 2.0 ports on the front, as well as a Firewire and eSATA port and two audioconnectors.
