The 650D has quick-release side panels so removing them is extremely easy. No longer is there any need to be turning multiple thumbscrews to fix panels in place. As you can see from the overview of both the prominent side and behind the motherboard tray the 650D is laden with cable management cut-outs for keeping the inside neat and tidy. Cable management is an important aspect of system building, a clean tidy interior will help airflow.
Aside from this we have lots of space and tool-less mechanisms for securely fastening in devices and lots of cooling options too.

Moving in for a closer look we can see that at the bottom of the case there is a space there for mounting the PSU. Extended PSUs are also supported; all we have to do is move the bracket further along via the thumbscrews provided. Sadly though there is no rubber in this region, no anti-vibration between the PSU and the case. Metal on metal results in scratching which is something that everyone will want to avoid.

Although the 650D is a mid-tower it has an abundance of PCI expansion slot options. Up to 8 are available, each with thumbscrews holding them in and ventilation slots for better airflow.
