No, there is no drive bay up top like yours. It's an open space. I have the 2 drive bays on the back and the fan header is on the bottom.
On the left is the 2TB Sata. I created a bootable USB with the newest version of Acronis and cloned my primary drive. I rebooted the computer from the Sata drive and it worked.
On the right is the 4TB Sata. I installed Beyond Compare 4 and made a back up of the storage drive. They sit in the case unplugged until I'm ready to do another backup.
For a portable backup, I use a USB drive, then take it to my daughter's. I have a few in rotation.
Here's the front with the power off.
The GPU has a 12 pin plug where 2 separate power cables connect to the PS (not 3). And that's why for a 3090Ti, you'll need a 1000W PS. That one has a readout on the side. When playing CSGO the power is between 500 and 600W. At idle it's about 150W.
