disturbed Posted February 22, 2007 CID Share Posted February 22, 2007 seagate generation 10 hard drive instead of a maxtor .... but thats just a preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted February 22, 2007 CID Share Posted February 22, 2007 Swimmer regarding the Antec case you wondering here is the comments from a friend of mine who has one Great case but know what you are going to be putting in it. If you are putting more than 2 hdd in the bottom section, get the 120mm extra fan. ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835209005 ) Assure good air flow with round cables like : http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16812105907 and http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16812123149 Plan on using Velcro cable ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
