Thermaltake Chassis - Tooless Slot system

I've read about these cases and the reason I came to this section. The "tooless" Expansion Slot system has a SERIOUS design flaw in that it cannot handle LARGE Height cards (like my Ti4200 or most Fx5900 and ATI 9700 cards). From what little I've read, this "tooless" system can be removed and normal screws can be used to secure the cards. So with this, I assume that there are STANDARD Slot in the back of the case, no drilling or other modifications required?

The case my friend is ordering is the Enermax Enermax CS-10181 case. It is the exact same case as the ThermalTake, but without the Extreme cover or fan controls, costs about $65... a lot cheaper than $190! The other reason we like is, is that the TOP bay has a CD-ROM cover & eject button, so he doesn't have to OPEN the whole door to use the CD-ROM drive. That's one of the reasons we chose it over the Older Chieftech/Antec style cases.

I have the Older Antec style of these cases (used by Alienware, Chieftec and others) - and view these NEW ones as refined models, with easier drive cages, tooless, more ports, etc. But has great reviews, and I've seen the ThermaltakeIII in real life... but it seems to have just the 2 smallish problems. The other problems is incorrectly wired FIRWIRE port on top, that WILL BLOW OUT your hardware. Read about it here: http://www.meltybrain.org/1394/

The enermax case looks like this:
