I plan on getting a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty 7.1 Champion Series Sound Card. Would the front mounted drive easily be fitted into this case behind the mesh front and be easily accessible without damaging the look of the case??
It won't look that bad but it will be horrendus on Vista.
