For the six 3,5" hard drives there are these plastic mounts, that freely float suspended with some rubber tubing. Antec has already used hard drive soft mounting on the P150 case, but this time the system is a bit sturdier, as the drive is still held in place with screws. The power supply is mounted to a holder that again slides to the case and is locked in place with a thumb screw.
