Dunno if this is use to you.

Apparently you can get them with 400W supplies these days. I figured you could mod the rear case fan grills for a second PSU. Just remove the drive holder there. I use chimney fans anyway.

The other mod I would make to this case is the hole between the bottom and top compartments. It could do with a little more spaciousness.

Otherwise a great case. Nice little feet too. :smile:

I got some basic cases like that! The second link I made is for <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=281&manufactory=1524&DEPA=1&sortby=14&order=1" target="_new">This Description</A> which shows that case at $89. The main outstanding feature is its slide out drive trays, quite a deal I think for $89. Another nice feature is the 120mm fan bracket behind the CPU. And it's not as tall, so it would probably look better on a desk (with the rollers removed). It looks a lot better in black, see the company's website.

You movin into the hot-swap end of the market? Wow! Fair enough. Or just "Lets add a drive fast"?

Don't need the hot swap functionality, just like the idea of changing drives from the front. After all, the case is not expensive!
