The inside of the case is almost the same as the Enermax CS-718 I reviewed a while back. However my biggest complaint about the CS-718 seems to have been corrected.
The case has two 120mm fans, one in the bottom front acting as an intake, and one in the rear back, acting as an exhaust.
The case has a tool-less expansion slots. You can add or remove PCI or AGP cards without finding a screwdriver. However, if you use a video card that is two slots wide you will have to remove the tool-less cover and use regular hex screws.
The case has 6 hard drive bays. All the bays in the case are tool-less and all you need to do is put the rails on the drives (they just snap in place) and slide the drives into the bays. The rear of the hard drive points to the left side of the case, away from the motherboard. This might cause some trouble with the plugs of the SATA drive falling out of the hard drive. I knocked the drive cable off a couple times when putting on the left side panel.
Make sure you get a power supply with a bottom fan. The power supply fan is the only fan cooling off the hard drives. If your power supply doesn't have a bottom fan you might risk the hard drives overheating.
