can someone tell me when they say standard on the fans if that means the fans come with the case. for the optional fans do i need to buy and install them? also what is the difference between internal and external drives? does that mean internal drive bays are just to hold things and external drive bays are the only ones i will have access to from the out side of the computer? http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=81800
 
It means that youcan install two more fans if you want to buy them. nternal drives are mounted insidethe case. External drives fit in a drive encloseure, connected to a usb port and sit on your desk etc.
External drives are great if you have info,files,music etc that you want to take somewhere with you.
 
ok so then why does it tell me number of external drives on a case spec sheet. i read somewhere than an external drive is a drive that is inside the computer but can be accessed on the outside like a floppy drive. but an internal bay is a bay inside the case used for mounting hard drives or things that dont need to be accessed from the outside
 
Greggie Boy is wrong. The external drive bays as described in the description relates to drives which fit in the bays accessed from the front of the case, not USB drives.

5.25" bays are used for optical drives, such as cd and dvd drives, as well as bays for other devices like sound card panels. 3.5" bays are usually used for floppy disk drives. The picture shows you the usual configuration of external drive bays.

so than an external drive is a drive i can access from the outside and an internal drive is a drive i can only access by opening the case?
