Compatibility & preservation
The unusually large front fans and adjustable airflow modes are central to this case's thermal design. The 380 mm GPU envelope is measured in the standard layout; check the installed drive cage, orientation and power lead bend. For E-ATX/SSI-EEB boards, follow the exact standoff and side-bracket instructions.
- Preserve the front-fan bracket, wooden front accents, anti-sag support, drive cage and removable top radiator bracket.
- Confirm PSU orientation and length before ordering modular cables or a lower-chamber radiator/fan combination.
- Use the linked manual when installing a back-connect motherboard; support is limited to ATX and microATX.
