Here is a shot of an ABIT KT7 raid board and a Duron 700, yes
that is an Alpha pep66T. This case boasts some nice internal room, no knuckle
scratches installing anything. This board fit in nicely, and after installing
the hard drives, there was plenty of space to tuck all of the wires out of the
way. As for running tests on the case, I left the side covers off for OS install
(win2k server), the system stayed at 84F (ambient 74F). After 2 days of tweaking,
I put the covers on and the temp dropped to 80F on both system and cpu.
While installing apps, setting up active directory and running terminal
services, those hard drives were going mad, but the system and cpu stayed
at 80F. The "WindTunnelPLUS" gets the job done.
