removeable motherboard trays

ive only seen a few cases with removeable motherboard trays. it seems like it would be extermely useful but i was wondering if it is so useful, why do not many cases have them? is there a drawback im missing here?

thanks,

Cost is the reason for most cases not having a removable tray.

If given the option between having one and not, i would go with what ever had one. They just make life so much better. You can take the tray out and work on a table, with elbow room and no tight spaces.

As flanzig1 said, i think cost is the only problem.

Love mine, wouldn't build without it. However, I DO have a bad habit of changing things. Often.

I've been building with Enlight cases with removable trays for over 10 years. My bench motherboard is even screwed down to an old one.
