THE AXIOM PRO INTERIOR

Both side panels are constructed by thick steel but have no noise-absorbing coating on the interior.

As you can see to gain access to the interior of the AXIOM Pro you will need to open the right side and not the usual left side.

The first things that will draw your attention are the two fans which are part of the Cyclone/S-Filter system.

Although most dust gets collected in the front trays some will most probably escape and for that S2 Innovation has placed a removable air filter after each fan.

The fans used are 120mm sized and spin up to 1500RPM.

I was a bit curious as to what the interior of the Cyclone Dust Collector system looked like so here you go.

Instead of regular drive trays the AXIOM Pro comes with 4 combo drive bays placed on the bottom.

Each of these bays can accommodate up to two 2.5" drives or a single 3.5" drive.

Since you need to mount the components from the right side the mainboard needs to be inverted so this time over the rear IO and the CPU cut out are placed on the lower right.

All 7 PCI expansion slots are secured in place via regular screws so yes here i'd really like to see rubber coated thumbscrews too.

The rear 120mm exhaust fan is the same model as the two ones placed at the front.

There's very little room behind the mainboard tray for cable management but that's also why S2 Innovation has used the fence like space next to the front fans.

As things are although the top of the AXIOM Pro is perforated you can't really place any fans there but with a little bit of modding all is possible.
