I have the same case and some trouble putting on the back side panel because of my bulk 24pin cable. Also the motherboard cutout was useless to me, because the mounting points for coolers on my motherboard were too low. I managed to mount my SSD on the bottom of the drive sled I have my HDD on.
I really like this case otherwise. I am going to take some pictures once I am home.

Yeah, could have done with an extra half inch or so behind the motherboard, and as u say the cut out for mounting CPU's is not big enough. . . better than my old case though :D . . cant wait to c urs

Looks great, you should attach the other drive cage since it looks better and from my testing it doesn't even noticeably affect temperatures.

voila

you can put this only in the bottom bays with all sleds populated.

 

That seagate SSHD is going into my laptop. here it is used purely as a model with the handsome WD800 Caviar.

 

I would enjoy a windowed sidepanel with this case.

@MPX309: Nice build. Looks like you've done a decent job with the cable management and it's nice to see aircoolers get some love too.
 

@UselessBread: nice build too! How are you finding the HX750. I know some complain about the fan noise, but others have no complaints at all. Going to pick up the same PSU for my upcoming build. 

Current build: Antec P180, Asus P8Z68 Pro, Intel i5-2500k, Asus GTX 570 2GB, Patriot 16GB 1600MHz, Corsair HX 650W.

New build: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/11270-video-editing-workstation-build/

I have no problem with that PSU. Quitest part in that system probably (not counting the SSD).

one thing that came to my mind is that the hx750 is kind of long, and because of that I can not populate the bottom fan location.
