How much you got??

What are you looking to spend?

Cuz we can start at 600-700 bucks and go down from there.

Anything under 200 and its going to be flimsy crap

see the circuit cards in the drive bays? http://www.abs.com/graphics/images/canyon_695-11.jpg Thats a fast port hot-swap for SATA drives.. no cables needed, just slide them in and their online. Of course the cables connect from the card to the motherboard

I've been happy with Antec cases and power supplies - they address the noise factor as well as cooling, and ease of use. Not as sexy as Nick's maybe, but not as pricey either.

...my four Pennyworth...over many years...>>>>

I'm one of the "Old Fashioned" PC type of Blokes from the 1990's...

My favourite Computer arrangement....

A horizontal Desk-Top Case sitting beside my Keyboard and Monitor, and far away from a dusty floor/carpet, etc...

....with a quick-remove lid on the top, offering quick, easy access to all its innards, and all the drives, etc, in front of me... :-*...!

..none of this crawling about on hands an knees on the floor, in semi-darkness, trying to fiddle with things in a Tower!...;)...!

..and another benefit of a Horizontal Desk top arrangement...all the heat from the individual components rises clear away, vertically.....not accumulating upwards, and adding the the heat of all the components mounted above them in a Tower arrangement!.... ;)...!

Imagine what the poor-old Power Supply Unit at the top must be suffering!... :o...!

Paul.... ;).... 8-)...!

P.S....they don't call me "Captain Sensible" for nothing!...;)....;)....;D...!!



...so there you go.....just call me "Old Fashioned"... ;D... ;D...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004... 8-)...!
