Add me please.

I'm awaiting the rest of my parts but I can already tell after building an Antec 300 and an Antec Sonata III that this 590 is going to be really nice to build. I've had enough fun just getting my power supply cables hidden!

As far as [light] modding, I've got an old spare 80mm fan for behind the MoBo, which seems like a brilliant idea to me. I'm contemplating adding a 120/140mm fan (or two) to the top for exhaust depending on the direction the S1283 points and I'm also curious about HD tray placement. Does anyone have experience with the HD tray placement for 1) better over-all case airflow, 2)cable management, and 3)last-but-not-least looks?

Sorry for double post

Just re-read OP's first post.

1 bad thing about this case, if your PSU is quite long, then the hole for cable management might get blocked.. as mine did. I had a bit of trouble threading my cables through so I had to leave 2 unused cables out of the hole and just run them through the gap between the mobo tray and the drive bay structure.

I've written a short review on this case here: CM Centurion 590

I went with this one for my front top fan.. it gets the job done and is cheaper too. It's very solid, but has razor sharp edges =(
