In regards to cooling, at the rear and top we have a 120mm rear exhaust fan - this has a 3-pin motherboard header connection. At the top we have a larger, 140mm fan that is LED ready. When powered this will emit a warm red glow. We can either choose to power this via molex (12v) or 3-pin motherboard header (7v). This top fan can actually be removed without any tools. It slides out.

Over the other side, we have the optical drive bays. Installing a 5.25" drive is very easy, a level has pins attached to it, these pins fit into the optical drive screw holes. We have seen this before on other cases.

In terms of HDD storage, 7 x 3.5" drives can be installed within a large cage. This cage can also take 2 x 2.5" drives and is even removable. This is very useful if you have a long graphics cards but strangely, the cage doesn't separate into segments. So if you do need to remove this part for better graphics card compatibility, you will in essence lose all of the HDD storage within the cage.
