This is the first mATX cube case ive used, ive built a couple mATX mini towers and a few iTX builds, i really like the case overall, and there is no external drive bays, i used an external UBS 3.0 enclosure for my 5.25" drive which i dont mind since everything i do is downloaded or USB now, only have it so i can play Blu-ray disks for home theater stuff. :) #19
