RipperRoo is on a distinguished road
it could be hassle, but then again, how many times a week are floppys used with todays pc's.

bad point, you have to open the door every time you want to swap cd/dvd/floppy disks

good : most cases with doors covering the drives and power switch have locks on, this prevents anyone else who uses your pc (eg your kids) from shutting the pc down by just pressing the power button, loading in and installiung unknown software (i just got this cd from a friend at school and...virus) or any of the other 101 things you can do to mess up a pc

Ha, I would suggest a Thermal Take Xaser III Super Tower. I recently puchased it and it is huge. It has 2 side, 2 back, 2 front, and 1 top fan. They have cases with liquid cooling as well. Have fun deciding.

Rastagard I agree about the door but if you live with other people and you can't trust the dirty bastards you can lock them away.

I have a chieftec based on the same design. I like the look of the door so i'll put up with the covering up of my drives. Chieftec's are great though and cheaper than Lian-Li's (I own a PC-65 - it's rather good btw), but the chieftec's are very heavy for their size.
