“Anyone know if you can add a 3.5" HDD for extra storage? I see a panel on the bottom to punch out holes and attach a HDD, but is that it? Seems kind of lame. Is there an add-on HDD cage or something to purchase to make HDD install look a bit cleaner?”

I'll answer my own question. I spent several hours searching through videos, threads, etc. and didn't find much. A couple of videos sharing that you can mount an SSD directly to the bottom of the case (inside near PSU). I went to Best Buy today and found an Insigna Dual SSD Hard Drive Mounting Bracket (NS-PCDSSDM). It fits perfectly! I mounted 2 SSDs to the mount, attached the SATA cables and power connectors to the drives, slid the power cables out of the way, attached the mount to the bottom with the included screws, tucked the extra power cables into the case, closed everything up, and all seems to be working fine. One concern is the drives may get too hot. I'll have to keep an eye on that. Note: I don't think you can mount a mechanical HDD in this location. It's too tight for the cables.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
