Partholon

Im glad to hear that the keyboard and mouse would work, but the rom drive has me worried now. It would be silly to have to leave the room every time i wanted to put a disk in. im not sure how i can work around this issue, performance is #1.

As far as ventilation, im doing a new Hvac this spring, i can simply have a vent installed in that closet, the likes of which already has the runnings above it. That would keep it super cool in the summer and in the winter months ide just keep the vent closed (this closet is quite chilly with the door closed as of rite now, far colder then normal room temperature. i could always just open the door anyhow. The room that this closet is part of is just a guest room that is very rarely used anyhow. Origionaly i was considering putting an exterior vent on that closet (the one wall touches outside) but i have limited experience with vents and so i prob wont do it.

I already have an extra long monitor cable so im not worried about that.


Any suggestions as to what case i should get? im looking for absolute max performance. looks (obviously) mean nothing at all nor does how quite it is. That being the case maybe im better off building my own from scratch? I am an experienced carpenter so the the building wont be a problem, but i don't know how it would compare to the calculated mechanics of airflow in a factory built box. Can i match or possibly better the airflow in something i make? Remember size and cosmetics are 100% non issue.

I've googled it but havent come up with any good case plans for my purpose, the only stuff i've found are cases designed to be "pretty" not maximize cooling.
