Installation

With the power supply dilemma that we spoke of earlier, removing the auxiliary pod took a minute or two, but did not really interfere with any other hardware. All other components installed easily, especially our ATI 9800XT VGA card, which was held in place by the tool-less mounting devices.

The hard drive also secured quickly to the carriage by using thumbscrews on either side of the bay. One problem that we did encounter was the removal of the black drive bay bezel covers. These covers are secured by single screws, which for the top-most cover, is blocked by the top hinge for the door. We decided to use the second drive bay instead for installations.

Besides that, we had no problems getting everything into the case, and up and running.

    "With a price tag of around $100"

    Yeah, where? I clicked on the "AnandTech Deals" thing at the top of the page and saw nothing below $150....
