Installing all of my components was a breeze. All items for the case are labeled well, so it made for an easy install. The case came with 6 preinstalled motherboard stands, which saved a little bit of time. The case gladly uses standard ATX components, including the back IO plate. The removable motherboard tray was unnecessary for the installation of my A7N8X-Deluxe motherboard as it slid right into place. The connections for the front audio and USB were easy to figure out. If you have problems the included page on the connections and your motherboard’s manual should be enough information to figure it all out. The case also came with more than enough screws to install my motherboard, cd-rw, DVD drive, disk drive, hard drive, and add-in cards. As you can see in the below picture, everything fit in, and looks not to bad either.

I have always hated the way that CD-Drives and disk drives look. Especially when you have a different colored case than the standard beige. So after spending a very short amount of time with nothing more than double-sided tape, old crappy CDs, screwdriver and some model glue I ended up with this. The disk drive I installed in the case backwards, so whenever I need to use a disk (which is never) I can just pop off the side panel.
