The Centurion 531 doesn't have the stealthed drives, but does have quick release drive rails.

The case looks great from the front, but rather looks less sleek from the side. The side panel is as with the 530, with some room for a side fan and a circular section above for ducting on to the CPU.

The front of the case has a grille section which rather impedes airflow for the front fan. However, it does look pretty agressive.

The front has a funny finish though. Part of the finish is brushed metallic, and part of it is sort of flat, almost plastic like. It gives a neat two tone effect, but I can't help but think it would be better all brushed bright silver.

The drive rails inside the case are great, and are a welcome sight. They really make drive installation quick and easy, and I have no idea why they're only in the 531 and not the 530.
