Zp PC Power and Cooling now has drive coolers I've also been thinking in that direction...... heatsink-guide.com for a review of the Global Win I Storm . provides general case cooling as well. Their mid tower case $69 ......... check power supply specs my hunch is these will come out near the top. I've been eyeing that case all day. Your right about the quality of the case and PCPnC power supplies, of course. But the cost with even the 235w Silencer (do you think thats enough power?) is right there with a SM sc750a full tower-renowned for cooling/ventilation capabilities. There PS must be near the top as well, but I should check. Then I remembered the pcnutcase, which is a smaller version of the sc750a.Still haven't heard back from "the head nut" about his PS. So I'm siting with those three options .... PCPnC Personal Mid Tower, SM SC750A, TheNutCase. All $125-$155. 2 mids, 1 full tower.... then theres my original plan to use InWin. too. I'll have to get out my dart set(gg) Clarence

>>I recall that Spots thought it [PC Power mid tower] was a good case. I did (do), based on my reading of their specs; no firsthand knowledge. It looks good primarily because of the access (removable sides and MB cage) and ability to add two extra internal bays with a hanging bracket. Currently my case short list consists of an AOpen HX08. It's a very short list, mostly because I only research it sporadically. I'm leaning more toward larger towers nowadays. Last I checked, the PC P&C full towers were way overpriced IMO, but the mid tower is reasonable. I would lean toward the 275 watt Silencer, esp. since I already own one. It's very quiet; the cpu fan is louder. Spots

You never know what you want to add on beyond what you thought. I own one; it's very quiet. The CPU fan is louder. Spots
