Pros: everything fits full size PSU looks great very very small

Cons: PCI-Express slot is like 1/16" too close to the 3.5" internal slot. my video card fan was rubbing on the harddrive before slight modifications.

Overall Review: i solved this by unscrewing one of the 3.5" slot rails and re-attaching it via the vent holes nearby, thus sliding the rail over a few inches. i then attached some rubber feet into the bottom mounting holes on the hdd so that it was held in one one side by the rail, and gravity allowed the rubber feet i installed to rest on the SSD i had installed to the case-bottom mounting holes. not the most elegant solution, but gave much better airflow overall in the end.
