This case has one 5 ¼” bay and four internal 3 ½” bays for hard disk drives in two cages.

All cages can be removed to make the installation of the drives easier. On the hard disk drive cages you can install an optional 80 mm fan, if you like. The side panels are meshed in front on the hard disk drive cages to allow the correct airflow when these fans are installed.

The cages are fastened to the chassis using regular screws. We think a case with this quality deserved at least thumbscrews here. This case also doesn’t use any kind of screwless mechanism to fasten the disk drives and no anti-vibration mechanism is used on the hard disk drive bays, which is a desirable feature on HTPC cases.
