The Installation

Here are all the IO and power leads.  The molex pass through is for the LED's in the front panel.  For the Power LED lead, you are provided with both the two and three slot variety plugs, still not on every case.  In one cable you are also given both HD audio and AC '97, depending on the board you are using.  I was frustrated at the inclusion of split USB leads.  Thought there are a few motherboards with different pin arrangements, most are universal, and having to hook up four small leads for each set of USB ports is an extra hassle. 

The tool free drive installation works great.  The only thing better would be if the rails held themselves in place before meeting the brackets.  The rails simply set into place, then you press it into the drive space until you hear a click.  With the rubber on the sides of the rails, the drives fit snug and secure.  The process for optical drives is the same, just through the front panel.

The power supply and motherboard are the only two parts of this install that require tools.  To be quite honest if there was a way to put them in without tools I wouldn't do it anyway.  Those two are too important to not use screws.  The expansion cards are held in place securely by the clips on the side, even for the weight of my 8800GTS (GTX260 on the way).  If you plan on moving the tower a lot, or just like the added security you can use screws also.  These pictures show my biggest problem with this case, cable management.  Now granted I didn't spend a ton of time cleaning them up in this, but their aren't any places to hide them, and not many to secure them.  You can get them out of the way for decent airflow, and I guess without a window that is all you need, but I like them to be nice and neat.  With the VGA cooler in place it looks better, but I still know!

Looking at the back panel installed it is pretty standard, but how often do you look at the back of the tower?
