New WoW Machine

[Roland]

Hi,

I'm not sure if I require aluminum, either.  What I didn't think to mention earlier was that the case I picked has a MIDI/Game port in front.  Since I'm using the mobo's built in port, I will need to lead it out somewhere.  Now, I'd rather it was in the back, but I've found no cases set up like that.  I guess I could always find a D15 connector, a header, some ribbon cable, and do it myself -- but why borrow trouble ;)

If the ones I picked out come a cropper, I'll definitely check out your suggestion.  Thanks.

Generally, you can connect the frontal ports to the motherboard. They are designed for just that. Look for an audio connection on the motherboard.

Also, what do you want out of the case? If light weight, go with aluminum. If weight doesn't matter, go with whatever is cheapest. Neither metal matters in terms of cooling - only how many fans you can put in, what size, and where.
