Yeah, for some odd reason, case manufacturers assume ppl really need 7-8 HDD capability, not to mention hidden SSD and 5-1/4 to 2.5" adapters etc. My case will easily fit 12-13 SSD's. Why? So sacrficing a HDD cage for better airflow low, and keeping the upper and still have over an inch of clearance on my top pcie with an Asus 660ti, in a mid tower
To me, that was all just part if the joys of building my own computer, the challenge.
