looooooool

I thought it odd that it removed the links and changed the prices when I marked them as 'purchased'. Didn't really have time to figure it out.

With the investment in other parts, I couldn't afford the jump to an SSD, as I noted I already had both drives available. An SSD will be in the future though.

The Hard Drive bay is only able to face the way it is, you might not be able to tell but they are in trays to allow quick removal and replacement. At any rate, it's not a windows case so where the cables are doesn't matter much.

The airflow is great. The case came with two Fractal Silent Series R2 fans, both of which are incredibly silent while still moving air well. You can have up to 7 fans total. I will probably add at least one more front fan just to get a little more air on the motherboard without moving the fan that is cooling the hard drives, but right now my temps are all great and I'm not in any rush.

Thanks for the comment!

No, not at all. I have a friend who has one, it's extremely silent for an air cooler, and at $30 it's literally impossible to beat the value it brings.
