The side panels can be easily removed. Unfortunately, this is the fanless version. I suggest you buy one that already has front fans pre-installed. (Wish they also had 140 fans as an option) which said the build quality is decent considering the price. It seems to me that this is a mid-range budget case. One problem I had was that the hard drive bay wouldn't move. Therefore, you need to carefully manage your cabling and pay attention to the size of your power supply. 6 inches I think. Is the max. But you'll need a little less than that.
