The mother tips out for easy accessability. I've never been happy with Enlight cases personally. They're way to flimsy for me. The power supplies tend to leak a lot of RF also, which interferes with monitors and other computers. I use to use only Macase, but they discontinued the style I liked. The replacement style has a chubby front end that sticks out to far for me. Casedge has their LXsomething model (About $49+Shipping from Ark Technologies,) which I'm impressed with. Thick steel, no sharp pieces, it's all smoothed down (and dosen't collect finger prints!) The drive bays snap out and have one screw to fasten them down just in case. Minmaw is also a good brand, but they're a bit more expensive then Casedge. Their one major advantage is that they have a place in front to put a dust filter in front of the case fan.
