In the above picture you get a good look where you can add in 80MM fans to help keep things cool. Two in the front (as intake) and two in the rear (as exhaust) makes for excellent case cooling. You do not need to attach the fans by screws, instead you simple place them in the clips on the fan holders you see. Also notice something that really stands out here. You have a place for an 80MM fan for the hard drive cage (see pic below). Naturally this design helps keep your hard drives cool. No extra hard drive cooler needed here.

Since both drive cages are removable by a simple lever, you can install your hard drives first, then slide the cage back in. Then slide the lever towards the frfont to secure the cage. Of course, don't forget to place a decent 80MM fan on the end first. And be sure it is sucking air in.
This case is actually, what I consider, the perfect size. It is larger than a mid-tower yet smaller than a full-tower. This gives you plenty of room to install everything. A motherboard like my Asus A7N8X fits in easily. As you can see in the picture below on the right, an installed CDRW drive barely reaches to the motherboard. That one is installed on the bottom of the 5.25" bay and it is still about an inch higher than the motherboard.

The only thing this case is missing that some may like, is a removable motherboard tray. I've never found them useful, but I know some do like having them. Frankly, the size of this negates needing that. Since this case is about 2-3 inches longer than most others, you have more room to work.

Since this case is aluminum, it is light. You have 4 extended feet on the bottom to help keep it from tipping over if someone hits it by accident. They simply rotate out. Now what the heck is the picture below? That is a sideways view of the front and meant to show you how large those front vents are. No problem with good airfow here.
