I know the pics are not the greatest, and the cover is in the lower left corner of a lot of them, but I figured why not show this off. I found the case to be extremely well done, very sturdy, solid, yet easy to install parts. The case is a Cooler Master Centurion 5. The front panel cables for the buttons and LED's nicely kept together. The front panel USB, firewire, speaker, and audio connectors on the other side to allow easy hiding. Tool less brackets, and when unlocked you can still use a screw to secure everything if wanted! The cables are from the second picture, allowing more then enough length for rout them. The case speaker. Small, can be moved if wanted (not clue why that's an option), and loud for clear beep codes.

Front panel without the cover on and FDD installed. Front panel cover. See the screws to hold the bay covers, they are annoying if you don't know they are there. And yes, that is a small foam air filter in the mesh of the bay covers! Lower part of the front cover, everything is treated the same way except that part has more plastic. The drive bay tool less locks. Thing is , they actually work well. I put a floppy drive in, and pushed on it with it locked. The bay completely unlocked itself and the drive jerked back. Nothing was damaged, and the lock still works. The other side of the 5" bays. Image075.jpg picture by 1031982 - Photobucket The other side of the 3" bays. I replaces the fan with an ultra quiet one, but it allows good cooling for HDD's without needing an additional cooler. After getting things in place, and hooked up. A closer picture of the HDD's, and the cable hookup where all the front panel connections are.
