THE GENOME INTERIOR
After you open the case you will see that there's not much space inside but considering that there aren't any drive bays and trays at the front that should be ok.
See this area here? I really have no idea as to the why Deepcool made it so large since there's not like you can fit anything behind it.
Also if you want to install up to 330mm long graphics cards you will need to permanently remove this metal "door" by using a screwdriver.
Right from the factory the pump/waterblock combo is covered with a box filled with foam material.
The pump is nothing new since we've seen it with many Deepcool reviews so far.
There are two rubber grommets on the mainboard tray and a large CPU cutout (the rubber grommets come off easily but that's not something we haven't seen numerous times in the past).
All 8 PCI expansion slots are secured in place with regular thumbscrews.
The PSU area features a nice cover which again for some strange reason has many openings (the reason for these covers in the first place is to separate the interior in two areas something which is not happening here with these openings).
In case you've been wondering about the two vertical PCI expansion slots DeepCool placed them there so you can also mount a graphics card using the area on the PSU cover (you will need a raiser cable of course which DeepCool doesn't include in the package).
Taking a look at the rear we see plenty of room for cable management and four 2.5" trays placed on the mainboard tray.
These trays are made out of aluminum and are held in place with thumbscrews.
At the lower end we find the 3.5" drive cage.
The cage is removable and can accommodate two drives (you will to place the bundled mounts on both drives however before you insert them to that cage).
Remember the area behind the helix tube reservoir? Well here you can place either one or two 120mm fans (still doesn't explain the large area left between the fans (if you decide to install any) and the metal grille.
There's enough room next to the drive cage for you to mount pretty much any PSU you can think of without limitations.
Here we see the three 120mm PWM LED fans of the pre-installed CAPTAIN 360 AIO liquid CPU cooler.
Bear in mind however that these are not the same fans as the ones used in the standalone version of the CAPTAIN 360 since aside being LED models their blades are designed differently.
