Interior:
With the windowed side removed we can see the interior of the case. Pretty basic layout with the addition of the rear 120mm fan.
The empty area for the power supply is nice and spacious. The expansion slots are tool-less, as shown in the below right image.
 
The hard drive cage must be removed to install hard drives, and this require you to use a screwdriver! Installing drives was a bit of a pain as each drive required screws, and the whole cage needed to be screwed back into the case. Where are my mounting rails I'm used to seeing? The 5.25" drive bay area is pretty standard with the tool-less mounting rails.
 
Here we have the wiring that comes with the case's front and top panel connections. There are the power/HDD LEDs, speaker, and button wires to attach to the motherboard and USB, Firewire, and audio wires.
It is time to remove the front door from the case. The back of the panel shows a nice filtering system that will catch a lot of the dust that will try to get in. Remember to clean these filters out every once in a while to ensure good airflow. The drive bay covers do not snap out, but rather need to be unscrewed.
 
Here is one of the drive bay covers removed.
