I was also thinking of the easiest method of inserting an removing drives, instead of them being screwed in.
Has all of this been done before? Could it work? Am I a crazy person?
.
Thanks,

I know for a fact Thermaltake and a few other brands make cases which have Drive bays which are in a 'tooless design' so it's easy to remove/add drives.

And of course we've all seen hot swap bays which are very cool. I have 3 hsb's in the front of my desktop and I love them just wish I'd opted for 3.5" and not the (2) 2.5".
