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.

It looks like a nice case (except for the window which is just personal taste). Were there any worries about the longevity of the paint? Cars get scratched and it would seem a glossy black finish is going to scratch over time.I find the power supply issue intriguing in that I had no such problems in my CoolerMaster WaveMaster case even though I installed a large Enermax power supply unit (465W). I guess the WavemMaster is an old man of a case now, but it would have been nice to see it included in the benchmarks for this comparison.
