Product Showcase - Interior
You can place into one of the eight 3.5" drive trays by slightly bending on each side to create additional room for the drive to fit into. Once on the tray the hard drive is locked in place with four pins that fit into the screw holes on the sides. Then you just slide it on until it you hear a click, and from there on its secured, as easy as that.
This is actually a production shot of the chassis, here you can see the overall size a little better. Photo's hardly do the chassis any justice as it really is an impressive piece of machinery alright. it has a very sturdy feel to it as well, likely thanks to the great build quality. As stated lengthy cards will fit just fine. Mind you that the HDD fans have been removed in this shot. Motherboard installation is rather simple. The chassis will allow Micro ATX / ATX / XL-ATX motherboard form factors so the entire scope is covered.
Remember all fans are PWM controlled, so if your motherboard allows it, you can control the fan RPM. If not you could use a fan controller of course. The fans themselves are as noisy as you want them to be, but overall the chassis will produce a normal noise level if you keep all fans at say 40% rotation, and that will offer you a truckload of airflow. That airflow is filtered by many dust filters that can be removed and clean real easily. yeah, the CM Storm Stryker is an excellent chassis alright.
