Well if I were to do just that...I would lose every single PCI/AGP slot I have. Also the drives would be directly in front of the case fan.

The drive rails are only for your cdrom/dvdrom drives. Hard drives go into the two removable metal drive cages. Just screw the hard drives directly in there. They are supposed to be behind the case fan to provide cooling for them. it might cause a tight fit with the AGP and maybe PCI slots, so you might have to move your hard drive around, but they will not block them totally.
