I assume by partition he means compartmentalized thus keeping the HDD &
PSU heat in a separate chamber? If so that does make sense.
The picture doesn't covey that impression to me though.

Get used to it..this is how many new cases are designed.
The PSU and hard drives are contained in a partition in the bottom.
The PSU (and sometimes another fan) draws air over the HDs, cooling
them, and another fan is used to exhaust hot air at the top.
Really seems like a decent design to me...
Except that with heat rising, it makes more sense to me to put the CPU,
HD and CDROM at the top of the case, with vanes above them to allow the
heat to rise, and a fan at the front to pull air in and one at the back
to exhaust it out.
Lots of cases put the HDs at the bottom, and even with a great fan
system, you still get heat rising into the case.
