A Closer Look (Interior):
When AeroCool set out to design this case, they sought to make it tool-less, which makes it a breeze for quickly swapping in and out parts.
The tool-less pci slots are nice if you have to remove cards all the time, but don't feel as secure as a screw or clamp setup. There are enough hard drive bays to satisfy most people. The locking mechanisms also allow you to change the screw position incase you happen to own an optical drive that you accidentally broke off a screw in and can't get out (stupid me). When I was doing my original testing and using the case full time, I was able to fit 2 Palit 4870's into it. While it was a little bit tight, it is definitely possible.
One complaint I do have is that while it has the massive side fan and has room for 2 additional fans, it doesn't come with any other fans. The side fan doesn't do much to circulate air past the hardrive. With this kind of setup you should really have some kind of cross flow, with the intake in the front and exhaust at the rear. The side fan is nice, but the incoming air isn't really channeled in any direction, but in.
