If you do need more storage space you can adapt the 5.25 bays for more 3.5inch drives, but your best bet would probably be to use some mechanical 2.5inch drives.

Although the primary application of the case is testing etc. we can see why some users would want this to house their normal desktop in.

Good review. I plan to buy one of these and have all cables tighted down at the bottom as suggested.

Brilliant looking case but its a bit disappointing having only 2 3.5" drive bays.

2 HDD's will easily give you 8 TB.
As no one uses optical drives any more, you could put 2 more in there.
That brings us to 16 TB.

If you really want, WD has some nice 2 TB 2.5" drives.
Throw in 4 of those as well and you are looking at 24 TB storage.

Not that it really matters. The 8 TB that the 2 3.5" bays can give you, is more than 99.99% of people will need for the foreseeable future.
And if you happen to be one of the few that need more, you already have a dedicated NAS or server.

What size are the fan mounts at the front? And is there enough clearance for rads front and back? If you could fit a dual 120 and a single 120 it would make a nice mini watercooled pc.

Inverting + and - signs would only result in the membrane of the speaker moving 180deg out of phase. The resulting sound would be identical albeit shifted in time. Not an audible difference for a single user.

Does anyone know how to tell the + pin from the - pin on the cables for internal speaker, Power pos/neg, and Reset pos/neg? It is not indicated on the connector while it is on other ones.

True. I am still thinking of getting one as its size and handles make it perfect when I go to uni. WHY DO YOU TEMPT ME WHEN I'M SKINT?! :(
