Just behind the front panel controls is a cover, pressing the front of this cover allows it to open up to reveal a compartment for storing items such as mobile phone, keys, USB sticks, SD cards. BitFenix have given this compartment SATA connectors so that you can hot-swap storage.
By now you will have noticed Ghost features lots of plastic, this cover isn’t the best of quality and does feel flimsy.

Further back there is another large mesh panel, this, just like the front is detachable. After removing this panel there is a shallow gulley for attaching cooling fans (dual 120mm) or as BitFenix specify – a 240mm water-cooling radiator (though this does need to be slimmer type – less than 3cm thick).
Ghost boasts itself as being a silent chassis so I’m surprised the top section isn’t more closed off, instead its fairly open with ventilated mesh resulting in the potential for noise to escape. Such a calibre of case should have closed off panelling plus material to extend noise damping further.

Options for air cooling and water
On the underside of Ghost there are four rubber pads that act as feet to prevent the case from slipping on smooth surfaces. In the centre sits a large dust filter that covers the PSU and optional fan placement, unfortunately this has to be removed by flipping the case onto its side.
BitFenix have given Ghost rails on the underside that are specially designed to fit BitFenix Alchemy LED Strips. These LED strips can be purchased separately.
