Removing the side panels is easy – thumbscrews secure them in place and they simply slide off as expected. With the side panels removed we can see the interior is spacious, with plenty of cable management grommets, large CPU backplate opening and some tool-less mechanisms in various spots. The contrast of white and black work very well. PCI expansion covers, HDD cages and fan blades all have that distinguishing white accent making them clearly stand out.

Note: there are even rubber grommets at the top of the motherboard tray – allowing you to easily thread through E-ATX/P4 cables behind the motherboard tray. Excellent!





Let’s move in for a closer look. First of all the PSU mounting area, here we have rubber platforms to assist with reducing vibration and avoiding scratching. There is nothing worse than seeing a case without anti-vibration in this region, metal-on-metal is something we want to avoid – so it’s good to see we have rubber here.

At the bottom we also have mounting holes for a 120/140mm fan. Of course, the underside here has a filter to ensure dust/dirt is easily cleaned.



Moving up, we have 7 x PCI expansion slot covers with ventilation for better airflow inside the Arc. To the left, a vertically aligned PCI expansion cover can be found. Here we can attach a fan controller. All of the PCI expansion slot covers are secure via thumbscrews.



Above this we have dual 140mm fans. One mounted as the rear exhaust and the other a top mounted exhaust. Both have cable sleeves to keep the black/white theme consistent. All of the fans within Arc are 3-pin motherboard header types. There is an additional spot next to the top mounted fan for mounting another 140mm.
