Advantages: Sturdy, looks great, stealth-bays Disadvantages: Stealth-bays, small interior
...This case is truly great to look at, and when turned on the blue power light looks really attractive. The stealth bays also add to the excellent aesthetics of this case. The case is a nice size and relatively thin.
To those who don't know or are unsure what a stealth bay is. Stealth bays offer a way of hiding away the CD-ROM drives in your computer, they normally have a spring operated panel which flips open when the CD-ROM tray is ejected and flips back into place when it is retracted leaving a flat panel instead of the front of a CD-ROM drive.

Advantages: Very reliable and well built Disadvantages: No built in Wifi
...=
The hard drive fitted is 30Gb. Not massive by todays standards, but more than adequate for general business use in terms of storing spread sheets, office files etc etc.
Floppy
An internal floppy drive is also mounted on the side rather than the messy external system used by some which involves either swapping drives or connecting via cables. Having said that, I can't personally remember the last time I actually used a floppy disk for anything.
Communications
The laptop does not have the built in Wifi aerial that virtually all new laptops have. However wireless adapters are available very cheap for using via the PCMCIA slot on the side of the laptop.
Other forms of communication include an onboard dial up modem and LAN port.
Sound
Sound is provided by onboard stereo speakers or there is a colour...
