Due to the dual chamber layout the inside of the Crystal 280X RGB is clean and tidy. Looking at the HDDs and SSDs cages there is space for up to two 3.5" HDDs and three 2.5" SSDs. Both can be installed using tool-less sledges behind the motherboard tray. The motherboard tray itself is made from solid steel, and it features a large opening behind the CPU socket, which allows the user to install aftermarket CPU coolers without taking the motherboard out. The tray features a few openings, which have been covered with rubber grommets to create a neat cable management. Between the motherboard tray and the left side panel there is enough space to hide plenty of cables. The Crystal 280X RGB is compatible with micro-ATX motherboards and as we already mentioned there is space for a lot of fans and even radiators.

For our test, we used a system based on a ASUS Maximus VIII Gene motherboard paired with a Corsair H100iv2 all-in-one water cooler. Putting the setup inside the 280X is quite simple and straight forward. As you can see from the pictures there are plenty of slots for fans and radiators. The Crystal 280X RGB offers space for CPU coolers measuring up to 150mm in height and graphics cards can be of up to 300mm in length.
