1. Those temps under max load are scary.

I've never reached those kind of temps, even in Australian Summer weather.

I start to get worried when temps hit above 50 deg/C.

2. The nerve of this guy to call this a "workstation" case review. Not only does he not fill the cases with workstation class components, he doesn't even tell you whether or not the cases *can* be used with the types of motherboard and PSU's actually used in a real workstation.

If he wants to be taken seriously he needs to put an EATX dual processor motherboard in each case, use an EPS12V PSU, use SCSI drives instead of IDE or SATA, load it up with much more than a piddling 512 MB of RAM, and use a workstation graphics card instead of a gamer's card.

3. This review highlights the poor
ventilation of most cases.
I recommend the cheesy looking
Xoxide Spider-X case, which has
room for two 120mm fans,
and a large vent in the front
to let air in for the hard drives.
For a bigger case, I recommend
the coolermaster stacker.

for more details

4. Too bad the review did not lise case sizes. Many cases today exaggerate their actual sizes by using the sizes of the packaged box, which do not translate to usable spaces.

5. All of your graphic links are broken, no pictures show.

6. i like bay kooling cases

7. No pictures here.
