You'll have to mod it to get either better sound damping or cooling.
It comes with rubber HD mounts and such, but the aluminum isn't insulated in any other way. A coat of paint or a few thin sheets of cheap mcmaster insulation would really go a long way.
It's got pretty irritatingly low airflow, essentially 2x120mm. For such a large case this is relatively little, it gets toasty in there fast.
You can however mod it pretty easily, and it's a pretty sweet case for the price (even if it does take a bit of work). Few minutes with a jig or hole saw, and about $20 worth of fans and paint/insulation... and you've got a pretty badass case.
I'm thinking of either top mounting (cutting a hole in the top w/ a radgrill) or radboxing my mcr220, anyone done this? I havent decided which I want to do.
