Taking a look inside the case and we of course notice the big cutout in the motherboard tray for easy CPU cooler installation. Also take note that all of the tool less parts of the drive bay are white, which just adds a bit of extra flare to the inside of the case.
Raijintek have even taken the liberty to mark the motherboard stand offs with A and/or M to help give users a bit of a guide when installing their motherboard depending on its form factor.
As you may recall the front IO is to one side of the front of the case, this results in the wires being on the side instead of running through the top of the inside of the 5.25″ bays. This is a nice touch and will help make it easier to keep unnecessary cables/wires out of the way.
Taking a look at the top hard drive cage and towards the top of it we can see two thumb screws, by removing these we can then use the clips at the top and bottom of the cage to go ahead and completely remove it, for better airflow or to fit a longer graphics card.
Each hard drive cage has 3 white hard drive trays that are capable of holding either 2.5″ or 3.5″ hard drives. For the 2.5″ hard drives/SSD you will need to use the included screws that came with the case then align it accordingly with the holes in the tray, for the 3.5″ drive you just need to line it up accordingly where you can see the black rubber anti-vibration holders.
The cutout in the motherboard tray should be big enough to make sure it is as easy as possible to install a backplate for a CPU cooler to most motherboards without having to take them out. Also, as mentioned there is an included 120mm fan that comes pre installed in the AGOS.
[…] I will be looking at one of their newest PC cases, the ARCADIA. Following on from the AGOS I have previously done, it will be nice to see how the newer ARCADIA compares. The ARCADIA […]
