Full Tower Cases The Power and Cooling case is a fine case. It will cost about $500 vs $159 for the Super Micro. You have to buy the PS separate. I personally like the fan placements much better in the SM and believe the airflow dynamics are better. Both cases are very heavy gauge steel. One reviewer said he could stand on the SM case. Also like the two temp sensing fans of the SM. However, as always its the buyers opinion that matters. The ball bearing fans are a plus, as is a filtered input. It took 6 years for a regular 3" fan on my current tower to fail. I run 24/7/365. BTW, you never indicated if you tried that CPU cooling program I posted a link to: CPU Idle. Try it and let me know what you think. Also a good over view of RAID can be found here: dpt.com Networm
