Is the front face panel steel/metal or is it plastic? Which bits are ABS on this case?

The front face plate and trim pieces are plastic.

I worry a little when I see the power supply area closed in like that as I would normally install a fanless power supply in a case that size and would like the surrounding area to be totally open.

That lower section shroud is removable if you don't want it or need more room.

Can you fit an HDD bracket with an HDD in it with that front mounted liquid cooler?
