All I know is that they came in from Linkworld so that might be the best place to start.

Ok, my comments on the actual product page on the website are:
There's only one pic, and because Aria have chosen to lay it on its side, it totally suggests a HTPC format case. With that in mind and due to there only being one image the rom drive bay on the right could be mistaken for a panel covering various connections.
As personally i wouldn't want a case that has to be turned on its side that way as the rom drive is then vertical and that's a no-no imho unless you have a very good quality rom drive with lasers that aren't too fussy. (a la xbox 360 problems). Disks can also easily fall out.
This pc is built for vertical standing in mind, horizontal (or desktop) standing is an option i wouldn't use for the reason i stated above.
IMHO that pic is misleading.

Can anyone else see my point?

There are two drive bays, the slot on the right is a 3.5" bay. It is intended to be used as shown.

Aaaahh.... ok, thanks :)
Let that be a lesson to me for not fully reading the spec (2 x 5.25" bays exposed).
But it also highlights my point somewhat, that it couyld confuse some folk.

....or is it just me? :redface:
