Key Specifications

Striking Airflow Design with Hidden Storage

The Pop XL Air Tower Black’s honeycomb-patterned mesh front panel is both a visual highlight and a high-performance dust filter. It channels maximum airflow to internal components while remaining easy to clean. The hidden compartment behind the magnetic cover conceals two 5.25″ bays and a storage drawer, keeping your build tidy and professional.

Flexible Storage and Cable Management

This tower supports up to eight drives with three ultra-versatile storage trays that accommodate both 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives simultaneously. A dedicated SSD bracket holds two additional 2.5″ drives. Cable management is simplified with multiple tie-down points, pre-mounted cable ties, and oversized pass-through holes, ensuring a clean interior build.

Pre-Installed RGB Cooling

Four 120 mm Aspect 12 RGB fans come pre-installed, featuring Trip Wire technology and rifle bearings for enhanced blade efficiency and reliable cooling performance. The fans’ multi-colour illumination adds a dynamic visual effect, controllable via the included RGB button.
