<DIV>Brad,</DIV>
<DIV>I would recommend the Lian-Li Cases at Anyware, they cost around the $250 +
mark but are quieter than any case I've used. They come with fans and if
I've correct they can handle up to 10 drives. </DIV>

it's pretty all much DVD's, .mp3's and movies ripped of <BR>satellite I guess

Customs just X-rayed <BR>them and waved me through.<BR><BR>The other thing is,
it's all set up as a home entertainement system with <BR>my Projector and an IR
remote. So I just turn it on and I have <BR>FTA-TV/SAT-TV/150 Movies and 7000
mp3's at my disposal for navigation <BR>with my remote. It would mean I had to
plan what I wanted to watch <BR>instead of scrolling through the list and
landing on Red Dwarf Series 2 <BR>Episode 3.<BR><BR>I'm now looking for a
bigger/quieter case with decent cooling for 8 hard <BR>disks. The one I have now
has 3 80mm case fans, plus 2 in the PSU plus <BR>the CPU cooler. It's far louder
than the projector and the hard disks <BR>get a bit warm. Plus I only have room
for one additional disk, and that <BR>is right out of the fan's cooling
area.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Brad<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>plug
