It handles my six drives, my dual katmai p3-550's, a pair of dual fan cpu fans, and three fans. Sure, you can attempt to ridicule me for doing such things, but I shall ridicule you for being impractical. ------------------------------------ ...and you would be wrong, as your desktop a production server does not make. It might be fine for the light use of your desktop, but a server should be rock solid. I'd be willing to bet if those were P4's, you would see that take a dive. If you are running a server like that, I'm sorry...that is not being "practical," and that opens you up to ridicule for that...or at least no sympathy when it takes a dive.
