    Its a great looking case, I agree. I am tempted to upgrade my system for the coming year now with one of these at the foundation…. my old thermaltake is on its last legs

    Is it possible to remove the entire hdd drive bay, to allow higher airflow into the case?
    And how long videocard is supported?
