Inside
There's plenty of space inside the 570, as you'd expect given its size, but Gigabyte has made sure the space is accessible by securely tying down all the pre-installed wires.
A simple tool-free system is used for the external bays at the front of the machine but there's nothing comparable at the rear for expansion cards. Out of the box, two 3.5in HDD bays are available. These are located at bottom front and at 90 degrees to the 5.25in bays. As a result, these lower bays have easy access from the side.
While only two 3.5in bays are immediately available, three more can be freed up by removing the integrated black plastic accessory box that's fitted into the drive cage at the very bottom. A quick bit of screwdriver work and you'll have enough space to stuff the 570 full of storage - but nowhere handy to keep all those little do-dahs.
Note, too, the feet in the image above. These are fold out jobs that reduce the likelihood of the case being knocked over but can get in the way.
Forward of the HDD cage is a pre-fitted 120mm fan. This doesn't have lighting, so as not to reduce the impact of the projection system.
The two pre-installed rear 120mm illuminated fans can take their power from headers on the motherboard or through Molex connectors, which is how they come out of the factory.
One issue we do have with the interior of the 570 is the difficulty of mounting a power supply. For a case this big, the job is much harder than it should be and we struggled to get a Corsair 620W PSU installed properly.
If the top of the 570 were removable - rather than riveted in place (why do companies make that silly economy?) - there would have been no problem at all.
