If only I was in the market for a case. Though, I think I'd go for the Define Mini over this one. After my current case, I don't think I'll ever buy another case where hard drives have to slide in over the motherboard. It's a pain when you have expansion cards or a large cooler for the processor (but maybe I'm misunderstanding something on HDD installation on this case)

It has a vertical panel that runs from top to bottom on the front left side of the case. The panel holds three 2.5" drives on their sides.

I didn't want to deal with 3.5" desktop drives in this case, so I have two SSDs and a 500GB WD Black laptop drive on the panel. The panel is held in place by thumbscrews, so it's easy to remove and replace.

So a $99.99 case over a regularly $34.99 priced and now rebated to $19.99 priced one?

I've seen the price lower than $100 before. Plus, I like the design more and I would be okay splurging for a case I'll use for years.
