Taking off the top panel and there is room for either a 240mm or 280mm rad or 2 x 120mm/140mm fans. Also notice the cutouts towards the rear to allow for hosing/cables/wires or whatever you may need to put through them.
Aerocool have taking the precaution of making sure the cables for the front IO panel stay out of the way as much as possible so as not to get in the way of radiators, fans or even anything needed to be put in the 5.25″ drive bays.
Removing the front and we can access the front fans to install more, change or remove them or clean the dust filter when need be. You can also fit a 240mm or 280mm radiator if you would rather that than fans.
Also on the front, in one of the 2 x 5.25″ bays there appears to be something in place to easily add a hotswap bay?
If you choose to go with a radiator in the front there is more than enough room to add one fan without the need to remove anything. If you do need to add a second fan the top 3.5″ and 2.5″ bays are easily enough removed. This is just another one of the ways Aerocool has tried to give consumers as many options as possible to build in the case how they want.
A look inside the case and we can see the DS200 has a nice big cutout behind where the motherboard will go to allow for easy access to change coolers. There are also plenty of cutouts for cable routing and management as well as 2 x 5.25″ – 5 x 3.5″ – 2 x 2.5″ bays
The back of the case has 2 holes for watercooling tubing alongside space for a 120mm fan.
Taking a look from the back side of the motherboard tray and we can notice some of the cable management options and the thumb screws we can take out to removed the top 3.5″ or 2.5″ drive bays.
The below picture was taken from the backside of the motherboard tray to give a rough estimate on cable management space. Not only is there about 2cm of room there are plenty of cutouts and places to tie zipties to. Please also note that the noise insulation on the side panels is around 25mm thick so the actual available room is closer to 1.75cm.
Both of the side panels with the noise insulation.
