I looked at this review

Can someone explain this to me...

"I also wish we could remove the right and the top panels of the case. Now when we need to install the had drive, we have to remove the chassis, to fasten the HDD and then to put the chassis back into the case. If we could remove the right side of the case, things could be much easier. By the way, HDDs (and also the mainboard) are the only components, which should be fastened with the help of the screws. In fact, this is quite logical, as the hard disk drives need reliable fastening, so we wouldn?t trust plastic clips here."

Does this mean I cannot open just the side panel to put in another new HDD?

Also, I currently have 3 internal HDD's. This case can support all 3 right?

Thanks people!

I don't think you will have any problem.

Look at this manual. You may need to wait a while for it to download. It is 2.3MB.
Look on page 9, section 2.5 Hard Drive Installation.
 
I am not quite sure about how many hard drives and optical drives you can install in the upper bay! You may need to get the optional hard drive cage that would fit at the bottom. I don't know where you can get that from and how much that would cost.

Wait for others to commnet.

One thing I am not very impressed with is that it takes an 80mm intake fan and not a 120mm one.
 
You say you have 3 hard drives. How many optical (CD/DVD) drives do you have? Do you have a floppy drive?

Depending on the total number of drives you want to install, you may be OK using the upper cage. In that case, you will not need a cage.

If you are a quiet PC fanatic (like I am), you may not be happy with the intake fan if you ever decide to use one since an 80mm fan right in front will be noisy and easy to hear.
There are cases that allow a 120mm fan in front.

That is a good question you need to find an answer for before you buy!
Look on page 10 of the pdf file I linked to.

Section 2.5 hard Drive Installation.
1 - Carefully slide the hard drive into the appropriate position within the upper Drive cage.
2- Fasten the Hard Drive with the two included screws .........
 
My friend has the same case just in a diff color, he seems to like it alot and i was going to get that case but for the money its not worth it.

There are many better cases for that price anyway as for the Hard drives you will most likelly have 3 slots for the hard drives and a floppy disk drive but if you don't use the floppy drive all your hd drives will be able to fit in the the smaller cage.

If you do have a floppy drive then one hd will have to go in one of the larger bays with that adapter.

And the adapter is about $3 or somthing well atleast thats the price at my local store.
 
Can anyone suggest sites where I can get cases for under $35. I dont care if it comes with a PSU or not. I won't use it anyway. I am hoping that shipping wont cost much.
 
This goes on sale frequently for about $40.00 after rebate. If you can find a store near you, you won't have to worry about shipping or possible damage during shipping, which happens with cases because of their weight size.
