I've been using SVEC cases for years, and I'll admit that they're not the easiest to work with for building/repairing a server, but they're cheap and they work well. I've never had a heat problem with their 4U cases or a PS failure. Now that I've said it, I suppose it's time to order a couple PS2 powersupplies for standby =) -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 http://www.psknet.com ** -----Original Message----- ** From: Aaron Namba [mailto:aaron@namba1.com] ** Sent: Friday, June 22, 2001 2:07 PM ** To: Troy Settle; Forrest W.
