Installation:
To begin installing your components you have to remove the cross-bar that goes across the middle of the case. This bar is added to provide extra structural strength and stability to the case when in use but will fall directly above the center of your motherboard during installation. Removing four small screws is all it takes to detach the bar from the case. From there you can easily remove all the drive bays to install hard drives and optical drives and you also get clear access to install your motherboard.
From there, installation of a computer system into this case is no different than any other type of case. Keep in mind that with the drive cages facing out your cabling will slightly overlap most motherboards. This will only be a concern to you if you're running any long video cards or have an unusual and/or aftermarket cooling setup in your case that may hinder this area. This is the same for the bay directly behind the power supply; using a non-modular power supply may leave you with a cable clump that could interfere with drive connectors if not bundled correctly.
