The RX-9 is a tool-less case, which means that in theory you shouldn't need any tools to get it up and running. I did find that you need a screwdriver for the usual suspects, such as mounting your motherboard, and securing your power supply. As a tool-less case, the drive bays use a pin and latch method for securing your drives. These have been used on other cases, and I have found them to be reliable. - The Review
