[ILUG] Cases & Power Supplies

[Ross Kilian Davis]

I did have a look at the SC-760A alright...6 x 5.25" bays
bit much for me though :-) ...one of my main objectives
apart from fitting everything in is to have a quiet
power supply...Supermicro don't even hint at that so I
suspect it ain't!?? I'll follow up on the Anandtech tip...

Thanks
Ross
