OK... I've only seen this on a Dell server cases so far, but I thought it was a really neat feature and if I can find another case that has it I'd like to go for it:
The case I saw had the drive bay cage attached to the side panel rather than to the front of the case. The side panel was on hinges so it swung out like a door when opened rather than coming off completely, and the drive cage would swing out with it. I thought this was neat because it gave you lots of room to fiddle about on the motherboard with the drive bays out of the way - one of my greatest annoyances on my current case is trying to take off or insert a RAM stick without the backs of my optical drives and their cables getting in my way.
Any commercially available cases that have this? Which can you reccomend?
