Motherboard Tray
The motherboard tray is the same as that in the Sidewinder, since it has the same internal design. Again, we see no tool-less features here, like snap-on stand-offs that we saw in Thermaltake's VM3000A. Thermaltake's methods, however, didn't seem too appealing after a while, since removing the motherboard from the snap-in stand-offs was extremely tedious.

There are plenty of screw holes to accommodate various types and sizes of motherboards from uATX to extended ATX form factors.

Did my semi-sublimnal hints get the point across?

im glad i read these comments and found more people like me who are sick of the overblown "modded" cases flooding the market now. I just want something slick, classy, and unobtrusive (why i love my antec sonata so much). Not to mention from my experience these premod cases are loud as hell and cheaply constructed.Poser - Sunday, December 19, 2004 - link
I was a little surprised to see the comment about the internal speaker being worrysome. See the question, "The enemy within?" here for why:http://www.dansdata.com/io014.htm

Oh yeah, by the way, sorry for the double post but, is Anandtech going to review the Dragon? That case seems quite a lot more interesting.TinyTeeth - Sunday, December 19, 2004 - link
Sure, it looks a bit cool, but it ain't anything I'd like on my desk. This is something you show off at LAN parties, not using every day.Besides, the front looks plastic and a bit like it was built in LEGO.

The upcomoming Dragon looks acceptable...kmmatney - Sunday, December 19, 2004 - link
The blue version of this case looks better than the red, IMO. Microcenter has it advertised with a 500 Watt PSU, but I think it needs to be cheaper than $99 if it going to sell.Panther - Sunday, December 19, 2004 - link
is there a shortage of legitimate hardware to review around the labs?istari101 - Saturday, December 18, 2004 - link
I like the simplistic, clean style of a coolermaster case. Specifically the Praetorian, but those gaudy plastic facings of the reviewed case is definitely not my thing. Neon lighting in cases is distracting for me.Bonesdad - Saturday, December 18, 2004 - link
cmon, lets do some reviews on REAL cases. Gawd, this has to be the one of the fugliest things evar.
