When I was installing the components I kept reminding myself that this is a full tower. It certainly has enough room to install everything, including long video cards, however when I compared the size to other full towers such as the Thermaltake Xaser series, this one is smaller. Its dimensions fit somewhere between a mid-tower and a full tower, however there isn't a classification for this size, so full tower is probably the best. Taking a look at the final build, the rubber grommets provide plenty of room to route your cables behind the tray.
Previously the side panel headphone holder was discussed, here it can be seen in use. It easily supports the
Cooler Master Sirius 5.1 Gaming Headset.
Finally, a quick glimpse at what can be seen through the side panel window. Pretty much everything on the top half of the motherboard can be seen. Here the exhaust fan is lit up showing off the blue LEDs on this fan.
