It is a little difficult to run the cabling across the computer. You can see what we did below. We pulled the cables to the side of the drives and attached them which nylon ties. This keeps them out of the CPU fan and allows for better air flow.

There is no power supply included in this case. It makes it more expensive in the end, but also allows the user to select a power supply more suited to what he actually needs. Because we like quiet computers for trading, the Antec Phantom 500 power supply is a good choice. This gives you all the power you need for a multiple monitor computer. It has serial ATA power connectors, a PCI-E graphic card power connector and all the other power cables you need. See below.

Installing the power supply in the bottom of the case is not easy, especially if it is a large one. The case fan may need to be temporally taken out before the power supply can be installed. Since the power supply is far away from the motherboard, make sure that you have long enough power cords to reach the motherboard, hard disk drives, floppy, etc.
