That was one of the reasons I eneded up with a TYAN board instead :)
You want to get a tower case of decent makeing, or go with a rack
mounted case (expensive).
I've always had a funny thing about small computers, so I have my
TYAN with dual p6/200-160M-8.6G in a nice little desktop case
(no not a minitower), works like a charm, and is quiet enough
that it doesn't disturb in the office.
When I put it besides some of our big servers they make here at work,
and it runs circles around them, I get those eyes from the HW guys :) :) :)
