The case starts out in life as a Yeong-Yang Lunar YY-5042 case  before Overclock Warehouse does their magic. For starters, let's take a look at the case stripped, and take a look around.

Looking at the front, with the plastic bezel off, you can see all of the accessible drive bays. The top drive bay is for a floppy drive, while the top bay of the bottom three 3" drives, is designed for an Iomega ZIP internal drive. Three 5" bays are available, and is standard for Mid-Towers. Drives install with screws, rather than the drive rails I have come to know and love, but this is a minor point. The intake fan cutout holes are considerably larger than on your typical case, and shouldn't restrict airflow very much at all. 

Inside the case is roomy enough, for a tower this small. Most of the mainboard standoffs are pre-raised, saving a little time installing most mainboards. I needed to use 3 standoffs for the ECS P6VXA Socket370 board I threw in it, instead of the 8 required by most boards. Your average sized ATX mainboard should drop in with no worries. The 3" lower drive tray is held in place with 1 screw, and slides in and out for easy drive removal/install. You'll notice the BIG 120mm fan in the back of the case along with it's twin, hidden in the bezel towards the front.
