2 3.5“ and 6 2.5” *I'm shaking my head in sadness* Oh how Cooler Master has fallen.

As I read it you can have a total of four drives, of which the two can be 3.5". That's not nearly enough. But hey, you get RGB fans and a tempered glass window. The more bling the better, apparently.

+1 for including cooling friendly mesh and not just catering for the “omg leds” crowd.

-1 for each useful drive bay that is missing.

Am I the only one that still uses 5.25“ bays? I've got a BD-RW in one, which I use fairly frequently to rip BDs (I'm not a fan of highly compressed films). I've also got a fan controller in one, and in another I've got a bay converter that squeezes in a 120mm fan, four 3.5” bays and two 2.5“ bays for the cost of 3 5.25” bays.

Nope.
They're great for modded kit, as well. In fact, I use mine for pretty much everything except optical drives.

However, such modularity doesn't lend itself to forcing you into upgrades…

I use to look for 5.25“ drive bays in cases. Now that I have tried an external, I won't go back to internal. I am still in the process of finding a case with 6 3.5” drive bays, video card support to 350mm length. Possible 3 fan extreme edition down the line. Great airflow and case looks. So far I've been disappointed at the cases on the market. Has to be mid-tower, full-tower takes up a lot of space.
