The case I picked up locally is like that. A full tower, 300W PS - floppy bay (well, 3.5" bay which invariably is used for a floppy) and 5 5.25" bays in front, 4 3.5" HD bays internally. Both sides come off with 2 screws each (I'm thinking of getting thumb screws to make it easy). The MB is on a slide-out subassembly held in my two screws. Makes it easy to work on it - mount the CPU, HS/Fan, cards, etc without having to work inside the case. It also has mounts for 3 case fans (plus the PS fan) - which I filled.
