Throwback (or flat-out copy of) to the G4/G5 Apple tower cases.

This case is amazing. I own a black one and love it to bits.

This case is nothing like an apple Powermac G4 case.
I would argue that it's not even that similar to the powermac G5/mac pro cases. The real similarity is the four handles and the aluminium. I've read it's large for an itx case, but it looks like it'd be good for carrying around or lans or whatever. The mac pro weighs at least 45 lbs (depending on how many hard drives, superdrives, processors (1-2) ram, PCIE cards, etc.) and those handles make it much easier to carry. I once carried a G5 in one hand and a pro in the other for more than two miles. I imagine this would weigh much less, so it looks easy to carry.

How many 3.5" hard drives can you fit in there? It says 3+2Modular, but does that mean like only 3 if you use a video card or something?

Great deal but I already own one :(. It's sitting in my closet until a Mini-ITX motherboard with Thunderbolt comes out...

Like many cases (my CM HAF is like this) you can remove a HDD bay if you have a ridiculously long GPU. I have a 6970 in there right now and it fits without removing the HDD cage.
Anyway, if you take out the HDD cage, it's only two. if you leave it in, it's 5.
I would recommend a modular PSU if you plan on using the bottom two bays for HDD's.
You can, of course, always forego the optical drive in favor of 1-2 more HDD's (depending on size).
It's pretty clear in this photo:

The removable HDD cage is harfway out, to show you it is removable.

I know but I'm still one day hoping to make a mini-ITX Hackintosh that actually is compatible with my Thunderbolt display :(
