Really all I have to say is: WOW! This case is a Juggernaut! It has so much customization potential that would have any enthusiast skipping around the room. With space for 4 External 5.25" drives, 1 external 3.5" drive, and 6 internal 3.5" drives: it's got your every need covered. The coolest part is that the 3.5" drive space is in removeable bays that can easily be stuffed with whatever your heart desires and placed back into your tower, eliminating the chance of damaging your other hardware in the unit.
The PSU mount is on the bottom of the case and can support virtually any type of PSU size, including Antec's oversized PSU series (the name of which escapes me right now).
If you're a neat freak then this case will accommodate your every need. An adjustable size conduit exists between the PSU mount at the bottom and the rest of the tower. There is also space between the backsize of the mobo mount and the case to run wires so that the inside of your tower looks tidy, neat, and whatever other cool word you want to use to describe it.
The front of the case boasts 2 USB2.0 interfaces, an Esata interface, and the normal audio jacks(This case supports HD audio too). The Tower is a sleek dark aluminum with special sound dampening technology. When I turned my system on for the first time yesterday I thought I didn't attach my ATX PSU adapter to my motherboard correctly because I could have swore that it didn't even turn on because it was so quiet!
There's 2 120mm adjustable system fans in this beast. The first one on the top near the rear and the other in on the rear near the top. There's 2 switches on the back of the tower to control the fan speed: low, med, high. I haven't played with that much yet, but I like that it's there in case I want to pump more juice out of this guy and increase the ventilation. There's also plenty of room in the front for more aftermarket fans.
The ONLY drawback that I ran into with this case has to do with the mounting of the drives. It seemed like it took a little bit too much force to get the 5.25" external drive in. After mounting the included brackets to the side of the drive and popping it in, it takes a little more force that I would like to get it set. Also, the way that the 3.5" drives mount in the bay is such that special screws need to be used. The tower comes only with 4 of these screws! It works for me because I only have one drive, but if I had more than one drive to install I would be pretty upset.
All in all: GET THIS CASE! It's totally worth it.
