Features:
Removable 3.5″ Bays: One of the more interesting features are the removable 3.5″ drive bays. They are actually where the two front fans sit. The whole bay area can be removed with by just unscrewing the two side screws. Each bay area is capable of housing up to 4 drives.

Excellent review Erik. This is what case reviews should look like IMHO.
I personally like this case looks and the features I see. The larger cases appeal to me for their ease of installation and roomier interiors which lend themselves to cleaner layouts. I would like to see a bit more refinement on the panel corners and edges but otherwise the design and features rock! Two thumbs up from me.
The panel corners actually flow very well with the entire layout of the cases exterior. The sides that curve actually give it a menacing, “dark tower” look.
