With a regular power supply installed you'll quickly stumble into the fact that despite this somewhat big Mini-ITX chassis, cable routing is going to be tight and messy. The good news is though that you can hide everything quite well.

So at the front or bottom (depending position), you can install two SSDs. A fairly easy job. Ehm, if you have a nice RGB SSD like TEamGroup offers for example (Aura SYNC compatible) you could also opt the following solution. 

Right next to the motherboard there is a cover plate, it allows you to mount an SSD ..I'm not sure why anyone would like to look at a 2.5" SSD, but you can. 

 So I had this big installation planned with ASU mobo, ASUS LCS and so on, but the installation at this point of writing already took me two hours, this chassis si that confusing and user-unfriendly to install. So I decided to take the shorter route with the AMD stock cooler. Sorry ASUS ! There was a secondary reason for that, I simply wanted to know if stock coolers would even fit. But yeah, no issue there.

I'll say it again, despite that the chassis is big for a Mini-ITX chassis, really there is not a lot of room inside. Mainly due to all the compartments and cover plates that ASUS applied. It's a tradeoff really, in the end, though it's all about the looks, so I completely understand the choices that ASUS made here. 

So we're getting to the final stages of the build. We have the mobo in, the PSU installed, and sure why now, I popped in a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti to see if the chassis indeed can take lengthy graphics cards. Well, yes it can. We however do need to take about cable management ... next page.
