While we're talking cases, I should point out that even bigtowers can be 
cramped. The Chieftec Dragon has this problem while installing the 
motherboard (www.cs.kun.nl/~adridg/amd64/ for some otherwise uninteresting 
pics). And dammit, once I got the motherboard and all the stuff installed, it 
turns out the primary (parallel) IDE connector is broken.

I've been working with David's snapshot ISO from a month ago, and it complains 
about all the USB ports, and also doesn't find the on-board 3com gigabit lan 
(the motherboard is a K8V). Is that, um, intentional?
