Ill start by saying that installing kit inside the Outlaw is disorientating!! Being used to installing hardware into many cases that feature the typical layout means that coming to the Outlaw you really have to pause and think. Cable management inside Outlaw is very good, even though we have no space behind the motherboard tray the area beside the HDD cage accommodates all of the cables easily and thanks to the cut-outs on the motherboard tray they feed straight through without a problem.
Its nice to use something that is different, something that is unique Outlaw is certainly that.

Lots of space near HDD cage for cables
As previously mentioned, installing HDDs and other devices requires plain old screws in order to get them secure. BitFenix have provided thumbscrews to make this process a little bit easier.

In terms of GPU Clearance this is unlimited provided there is nothing in the residing optical drive bay. The GPU actually fits inside this bay quite well.

Its to the CPU cooler region that we struggle. Installed within Outlaw is the Noctua NH-U12P with a height of 158mm. With the side panel on, we are literally 1mm from the heatpipes touching. So we really cannot fit anything bigger than 158mm in height here.

Finally, though we have no clearance behind the motherboard tray there is a small section beside the HDD cage for storing cables. In this area we have lots of clearance up to 5cm can be taken advantage of.
