The cases seem okay. The website has very little information about the case designs, though. I'm left with way too many questions. What concerns me is their use of what appears to be unprotected steel (it's shiny), odd case fan sizes, and a limited power supply wattage. No AC switch on the PS, either. > P.S.

Buy.com's stock is supplied from Ingram Micro and a few other very large mail-order-only vendors. The vendors they use buy parts in huge quantities. They can mark up a sizable profit and still be well under list. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
