It fits ATX/mATX/ITX motherboards, a standard ATX (PS2) PSU, and GPUs up to 450 mm (about 280 mm with reservoir/radiator installed). The left‑side mounts support up to a 420 mm radiator or three 120/140 mm fans; storage brackets handle up to four 3.5/2.5‑inch drives. Front I/O includes 2× USB 3.0, 2× USB 2.0, and HD Audio. Notable: three‑way placement with wall‑mount support (kit optional).
