And in the tower the two internal bays in the bottom for hard drives, etc. can be removed as a single piece. You can have 3 drives in each (as an example) and you don't have to fuss about with it down on the floor. Just disconnect the cables on the back, flip a locking lever, and the whole works slides out in one piece.

The two main CoolerMaster coolers for this CPU produce an airflow of 21.16 and 17.3 cfm and a noise of 34.5 dB(A). The ThermalTake Copper Orb is rated at 23.1 cfm and a noise level of only 29 dB(A). <discussing removable hard drives> > They definitely seem like a very attractive option, and not too > expensive either.

These are permanently fitted and I can access both in Linux. > > > Burns, thanks again, like I said, it's nice to hear it from a 3rd party.
