Take a look at Thermalright's Muscle version of the AXP-100 (58mm tall) and AXP-200 (73mm tall). They drop the backplate in favor of four mounting posts.

Fair enough.
As long as you can see where the other side is coming from even if you don't like it, I have no beef with you. There is no correct way to enjoy a game. But a lot of the users posting here don't sound like they have even considered why people might find watching this video...
Fixed that for you...
Goddamn, a lot of you bastards in here are way too dismissive about hobbies you don't enjoy. Really disheartening to read the amount of hate on a hobbyist website such a this.
I did a bit of searching and found this: http://www.overclock.net/small-form-factor-systems/840988-project-tight-fit-h50-gd05.html
Seems that the h50 tubes aren't long enough to reach the 120mm fan next to the psu, so the guy had to add a shroud to make the mounts closer as well as mod the hdd...
Yeah, but some people are not going to want a slot loader and some may already have a slim drive they've scavenged from a laptop or other place. It's better to sacrifice a bit of looks to accommodate the most users than it would be to redesign it and increase the cost of the product.
