There’s enough room to remove/replace the power supply with the CPU cooler installed, although with the extremely large models it might become a tight fit

There are two cable guides in the case, the bottom one comes extremely close to the edge of this Asus motherboard

The cables of the power/reset/speaker/hdd led/… are long enough to reach any corner of this case, some might find this nothing spectacular, but there are a whole lot of enclosures out there were you’ll run into trouble connecting these cables if the front panel connectors on your motherboard are not situated in the “correct” place. (read: near the front & up)
