Question CoolerMaster Centurion Case... Mobo problem??

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

I just saw a review on "COOLER MASTER Centurion 5" case and the guy says the motherboard is NOT removable... what does that mean?? Does that mean once you put the motherboard in, you can't take it out?? If so, why can't you take it out?

He is referring to the motherboard tray. New cases have removable MB trays so its easier to install the MB. Older cases don't have the tray but the process of installing is still the same.

Oh, so it makes it harder to install the MOBO because you can't really see (as in trying to match the screws to the case..?)

Oh, dont worry. Once you match the MB to the baseplate the screw holes will be visible and it wont be a problem to locate which holes to screw into.
