Inside the Gigabyte Luxo M10 Case
Contents
Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews. Because of its “inverted” design, you must remove the right panel to open the case to install components. The motherboard tray has a huge hole for you to access the backplate of the CPU cooler without having to remove the motherboard from the case, several holes for you to route cables behind it, and several metallic clips for you to fasten cables behind the motherboard tray using cable ties.

Figure 12 gives you another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened using regular screws, but at least they are black. The Gigabyte Luxo M10 supports video cards up to 10.2” (260 mm) long.
As already explained, the power supply is installed at the bottom of the case. Note that it can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it. As already shown, there is an air filter for the power supply fan. The Luxo M10 supports power supplies up to 11.8” (300 mm) deep. The case doesn’t support the installation of fans on its bottom panel.
