Looking at the back you can see that this case takes all full size PC components. Any ATX or MicroATX motherboard will work along with any standard size ATX power supply. I noticed Silverstone is using their new vented slot covers on all 7 slots which will help with component cooling in a tightly packed case like this. Provided cooling includes two 80mm fans, both of which are mounted on the rear. The specs Silverstone gives for these fans is that they are 2050 RPM emitting 21dBA of sound. Those certainly aren't bad noise levels for an 80mm fan considering they are usually a louder fan than a 120mm would be. The included fans have a chrome steel grill on both sides of them (yes, even inside the case so nothing can fall into the path of the blades - nice touch!)

Removing the case top reveals the abundance of drive bays that Silverstone has packed into this case. In total there are two 5.25" external drive bays, two 3.5" external drive bays and five internal 3.5" drive bays (one under the 5.25" bays). Loading this case up with hard drives would make it a great digital media hub and/or PVR system. An additional cooling fan can be mounted inside the case on the cooling grill that falls above the CPU (seen in my photos below). All motherboard mounts are screw-on standoffs for easy configuration.
