If I had to guess, I would say he may be planning to mount the HDD's backwards for better cable management, and those slots he's cutting would be to route the wires through so they're behind the mobo tray
Your guess would be spot on! Yes, the drives will be mounted backwards so as to eliminate the ugly rats nest of cables that I have inside the temporary case. At this point, there is only one HDD, but soon there will probably be a few more, and maybe an upgraded GPU. Depends on if I get my bonus in March or not.
Did you cover the mounting holes at all?? If you didn't, did you have any issues screwing in the mounts?
The top was a pain to take off. There were 2 phillips head screws, and 4 tabs you had to push. It was tricky, because you have to tilt it towards the front of the case, because the tabs at the front of the case are turned 90* from the other ones.

Well, it wasn't the top panel, it was just a big bulky piece of plastic that sits on top of the case. It houses the front panel connectors and the 200mm top mounted fan.... it was only a pain, not a nightmare.
