I know the cables are a bit messy right now, I am going to use some heat shrink on them on the weekend and make it all nice and clean. Just wanted to show it off a bit first.

Very key feature!
You bet! I would never stack hard drives like that if there wasn't any direct cooling across them like with this case.

Btw, nice case too! I have the exact case also except mine is dragon blue with the side window and fan.
I replaced the 2 92mm front stock fans with 2 thermaltake smartfans @ 52cfms ea and the 2 80mm rears with 2 smartfan II's Added a rheobus to control the noise. Case temps are 26c and quiet

I have that same feature in my Lian-Li PC-60. I think that is an excellent setup. So easy to work on also.

Those are very nice cases too....I would have loved one, but didn't really have the budget at the time. One of the cases that will go down as one of the all time classics of the higher end custom cases I'd say.
Having a fan blowing through a nice hard drive cage is one of the best things you can do....for a life on your HD.

I totally agree with you on both of your comments ...

Just wondering, wouldn't the magnets in the fans affect the HDs?? Cuz they're so close together
