I think only the floppy and the cd drive bays are not removable. the hard drive bay , board tray and power supply are all removable with thumb screws.

I put the PC together today, this is my first build but i have to say i was extremely impressed with how well built this was . it also disassembles almost completely so everything thing is incredibly easy to install.

on a 1-10 i give it a 9 on ease of putting together , only lost one because the CD bay doesn't come out .

after seeing it assembled I have it a 10 on style and looks . to me it looks really sleek, the the motherboard zalman heat sink light gives it just enough flare without making it look like a toy.

I give it a 8.5 on quality of build and features. I wish the USB was up top like the zalman and i wish it used all 110mm fans. It is built like a rock and feels as sturdy as it looks.

After seeing this one ands the p180 in person i am extremely happy i spent the extra $50 on this one . The p180 feels and looks really cheap in person , almost like plastic spray painted silver than a real aluminium case .
