Blitz..
It is super light. One of my buddies made fuin of my case because it was a hernia case, his was aluminum. I bulilt the 2000A for my brother My buddy isn't laughing any longer, this thing is very light. May be 15lbs, but it is WAY Lighter loaded than my 7000A is empty.
Your config on the 2000A is fine. One of the 5" bays is taken up by the fan controller, so you are left with 2 more externals. I used one of the 3.5" externals for my floppy, but the 2nd had a HDD behind the cover. There are 2 internal 3.5" for HDD"s, so your config is fine. ATX mobo is fine.. I have an HP proprietary with only 4 PCI slots, so I have 3 empty ones. Full size ATX will work fine. I also have 1 cold cathode mounted on the bottom of the case (short mobo made that easy!). One step I didn't take that I wanted to was to paint the internal aluminum to accent the light.. Being my bro's pc and all I didn't take the time.. After working with both of the Thermaltake cases I am a huge fan. No cut fingers, good solid construction, close tolerances (no Lian-Li mind you!) and nice peripheral mounting sets. Good luck if you try the case! Lemme know how it goes.
