I'm not sure how I will mount the drives yet. Possibly some kind of permanent bracket on the back wall behind the creeper face that allows the drives to simply screw into that.
One thing I did see that was interesting with the Silverstone TF-03 Mini that I mentioned in my last post was that the motherboard is mounted diagonally across the case from front to back. That would be an interesting way of hiding components like a PSU, but then, with the mods I have in mind, I should be able to make PSU etc. look interesting so I then wouldn't want to be hiding it – we shall see!
Ciao for now!
