was wondering about the logic, I like the idea of the PSU using outside air. That Lian-Li case caught my eye, was just browsing and have always wanted a aluminum case. Those I have built seemed to run cooler and produce less noise for some reason. My current Supermicro case fans have gotten noisy and the q9650 seems to be noisy at full throttle so I have stuff coming for that, ( and new case fans. ) The old Vantec Stealth are not as quiet as some of the new stuff. Thermalright seems to have some kick ass quiet high CFM fans. Let ya know.
No RAID at the present but there are 4 drives in the system, boot and data with backup drives for each running Standby Disk backup system. Thanks to everyone, has got this old brain thinking. sometimes dangerous and always expensive :'( Less free time then Duncan so get in no where near as much trouble >:-} fp At 12:54 PM 10/29/2010, Scoobydo Poked the stick with: >So, what is your question or are you just telling us your thoughts.
