You can see from this pic, that using the other two HD bays it is a bit of a pinch against the PSU. The cables from each will be mashing up against each other.
Pretty sure I read of people using a drive bay adapter and the second 5.25 bay for one HD.
Also looks like the lower HD bay in the tray by the mobo might collide with mobo components or sata connectors. Full size vid cards look to be out of the question if you mount a HD in that bay! Major PITA, one thing after another!
I am thinking it would be best to use a smaller ATX mobo like the gigabyte's, which are a bit narrower than a full ATX board. Would free up some space for connectors etc.
It's sad really, because it is otherwise an awesome case.
The only other thing I have seen that may work, puts the PSU over top of the CPU. Can't recall what case that was, will return and post if I come across it. I normally avoid such a situation, but if it allows more drives and longer vid cards, the tradeoff is easy if you just use a flower type zalman cooler.
