That's only a MicroATX case, though, which limits your motherboard choices pretty severely. A little more money gets you this: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=11-129-142&depa=1 I have one, with an FIC AU13 inside (six PCI slots ought to be enough for anything :-) ). It's quiet, and the 120mm fan right behind the HD cage keeps your drives cool. I have mine on a shelf above the TV. If I need to do something inside the computer, the lid is held on with two thumbscrews and is easily removed with the computer in its normal place (just need a stepladder to see inside). > I'm still struggling to get the DVI output of my nVidia GeForce FX5200 > working... however, I've heard that many can. Mine was a simple matter of plugging it in (while the computer was on, no less) and rebooting. (I swapped out an LCD with a VGA input for an LCD with a DVI input. It worked fine with the 720p modeline used by the previous LCD, but it works better (native resolution) with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] modeline I generated a few minutes later.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
