i have the 1000d model ^^ nice and heavy,
the pci braket problem was also easily solved if u simply trim the side of the lock slide back, worked with my AGP and TV tuner cards, as for the rounded cables i had 60 cm ones and i found just spacing them worked fine, my SATA drives had no problems with their nice lil connectors.

Very nice thanks a lot... :)

is the hard drive cage removable??

Not that I remember
