Wow, what is the advantage of the FT02 then with the RV02 being so similar and a lot cheaper?

Also anyone have exzperience with 5.25 drive sizes in these cases?

Anyone have any experience with the size limits of 5.25 drives in the FT02?

Look at the RV2 if you only need 3 hard drive spots or RV2-E if you need more. Same exact design as FT02, but alot cheaper.

Newegg pulled up nothing for RV2. Link?

I like the FT02 but I am not sure it would work. I want to get the EVGA Classified3 which will fit fine BUT I have 3 5.25 drives I plan to install into the case. One of the drives I want to put in is longer and it looks as if it will begin to go into the motherboard's territory. Any thoughts?

Did you actually even look at the HAF X?

Yes I did however I though the motherboard orientation on the FT02 was a cool idea making it my first choice. If people say that my 5.25 drive will not fit in it though I may need to look more into the HAF X.

Another question about the FT02. I have heard some people having troubles routing their thick power supply AC cables through the top and out the back since the power supply also mounts like the motherboard. Any truth?

Does the FT02 work ok with EATX Boards?

Also I have heard of problems when mounting 5.25 drives getting in the way of the motherboard expansion slots, any thoughts?

Hey,
I currently have an Antec 900 v2 which I hate. The dust filters on it are pointless because to get to them you have to remove both side panels and take out each hard drive caddy with a total of 10+ screws. This is more work than is needed to clean a dust filter! I will be getting a new motherboard that will not fit in a mid-tower case so I need a new Full Tower case.

I want the case to have removable dust filters without me having to open up the case at all, similar to the Corsair Obsidian Series 650D. What full tower cases that you guys like have this feature? Thanks in advance!
