The Build
As you can see, there is tons of room for cable management in this case and it is fairly easy to keep neat and tidy. CPU coolers with heights of 180mm are able to fit inside without protruding into the side panel but anything taller and you are going to run into problems; bare this in mind.
The large rubber grommet in the bottom provided enough room to fit ever cable from the CoolerMaster G550M PSU and I was able to hide the remaining cables down the back the aesthetic purposes. Fractal include a perfect amount of rubber grommets around the edges of the case for optimal cable management and I was pleased to be able to use almost all of them with ease.
The 8-pin EPS cable run down the back of the motherboard, my only complaint.
Angled around the motherboard edge. The grommets are at about a 10 to 15-degree angle to give you more room behind the motherboard tray.
In the back, Fractal have included velcro cable ties which came in handy. I only had to use a single cable tie on the CPU power cable on the right-hand side. Notice the additional 2 x 2.5″ caddies on the rear in white.
The fan controller is powered by a SATA connector. Notice this in the centre of the picture between the second and third velcro tie. It’s very easy to hide the cables down the back of the board and away from the HDD caddies.
