Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88e X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all. I just picked up one of those Asus Dual PPro boards - the P6UP5 main board with the C-P6ND daughter card. The thing seems really hot (pun intended), and I'm looking forward to trying out FreeBSD-3.0/SMP on it! The only problem is that the only case I could find to fit it in was a super el-cheapo minitower that I could yank the 3.5" cage out of (to accomodate the long daughter card). This case sucks, and if I leave the metal enclosure on it gets much too hot for my comfort. So I'm wondering if anyone could recomend a decent case that works well with this Asus daughter card stuff. A "large mini" that has enough space to hold a few fans, and a few disks comfortably would be nice - or even a "full" size case. I generally store my disks in a SCSI tower, so good drive capacity isn't really necessary, just a nice touch. I need to be able to mail-order the thing, since I'm in Southern Ontario (Canada) and driving to the Bay area to pick it up isn't an option. ;-) TIA for any help, -Mark -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark -- finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Win95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. -UGU
