If you don't mind using the plain brown-box versions and p roviding your own power supply you can save quite a few $$$. :-) Speaking of Antec, I love the sonata.. Its the first respectably quiet case I've come across. Even the fans are mounted on rubber dampers, the power supply has a special temperature sensitive controller for fans and a special power supply lead to plug your case fans. When things heat up, it speeds up the case fans etc. Plus, its in a nifty piano-black box with blue LED "headlights" on the front. :-) I just wish they didn't punch holes in the side to let more sound out. :-( > >If you want a shorter case, I have also installed both Tyan K8W (s2885) > >and MSI-9131 mobos into the Antec SX835II Performance Series II mid-Tower > >case http://www.antec-inc.com/pro_details_enclosure.php?ProdID=80843. > >Again with the internal 3" drive cage removed. > > > >-- > >-- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5
