A case with actual drive bays and ribbon cables everywhere, it if wasn’t for that AMD Wraith cooler I’d think I was looking at a machine from 20 years ago.
Doesn’t look like there is any other side at all which is fairly common in older cases (and possibly new pre built).
The metal plate you see is probably the side panel.
I guess they could probably fit some small cables between the motherboard standoffs but that’s about it.
Guessing that this is a somewhat older case, the power supply being at the top like that it’s pretty close to the motherboard and CPU power sockets and the drive bays, and GPUs could often run from motherboard power. You might have those huge grey IDE ribbon cables for floppy drives, you usually had the ketchup and mustard power wires, who cares what the thing looked like inside?

And absolutely no way to route cables in the back.
You mean no room at all under the other side panel and/or the other side panel doesn’t come off, it’s all riveted together? Yeah.

there are two sheets of steel there, one that the motherboard and such mount to with all the screw holes and such, and the smooth outer skin.
I doubt there is any room to route cables there though. Doesn’t look like it anyways.
No, wasn’t intended to.
