A total of 7(!) fan slots (2x 120mm in front, 2x 120/140mm in top, 1x 120mm in bottom, 1x 120mm in rear,1x 120/140mm in side panel)
Three fans included (1x 120mm in front, 1x 120mm in rear and 1x 140mm in top)

Extra, vertically mounted expansion slot, suitable for fan controllers or non-input expansion cards
*The component support in the case when using radiator in top is depending on the thickness of the radiator. See info below. When having a 2x120mm radiator mounted in top, you cannot use the rear 120mm fan slot at the same time. - Up to 40mm radiator thickness: Support for most water CPU coolers and larger memory modules. - Up to 50mm radiator thickness: Support for most water CPU coolers and standard memory modules with a height of max 40mm. - Up to 70mm radiator thickness: Support for only certain water CPU coolers, depending on the water inlet and outlet. Supports standard memory modules with a height of max 40mm.
This new Arc Mini case in micro ATX format offers plenty of cooling options, up to 7 fans of various sizes can be installed. Unique for its small size, it also offers room to mount a thick, dual 120mm radiator in the top panel.
Elegant top and front panels are both easily removable and pre-fitted with fan filters to ensure a dust free interior. The sleek black interior is matched and contrasted with white expansion slots and HDD trays. Similar to the Define Series, all the HDD trays are fitted with anti-vibration silicon grommets. The upper HDD cage is removable and rotatable, which enables support for even the longest graphic cards.
Tangled cables are a thing of the past as the Arc Series offers an innovative, convenient, and great looking way to hide them away. The motherboard mounting plate has rubber covered holes in which you can easily route the cables to a compartment behind the motherboard, which has more than ample storage space.

This is a fantastic little mATX case. Lots of cooling options, OEM fans are decent, excellent build quality. I'm extremely pleased and would easily buy again.

Passing the cables is a challenge; since the cable can be placed BEHIND the motherboard plane. They should have left MORE room in order to close the RIGHT SIDE panel.

I was unaware of my listed con prior to buying the case. But for $60 you can't go wrong with this beautiful mATX case. Ample air flow amongst other great features.

First PC build, first case. I took a chance based on reviews and photos of builds and I am very happy. The case far exceeded my expectations, even though I didn't have much to go off of. There is ample room for cable management. I used the cpu graphics so I can't comment on video card size support. Once you loosen the thumb screws to human tightness, the whole thing can come apart super easy. I love the removable hdd tray and the drive holders themselves. An SSD bolts right into hdd cages without any adapter. Overall, this case is very solid. I purchased it a month ago, and was only recently able to build the computer, so I missed a great price as well, but I am still really happy with the case. Highly recommended.

Arguably the *BEST* mATX case I've ever built. Drives fit well, watercooling setup was a breeze, cable management was a breeze, freebie fan-controller was nice, and I was actually able to re-use the OEM fans (usually I have to throw them away cuz they're too loud or crappy - e.g. the fans that came with my old CoolerMaster cases). No complaints at all!
