Our ATX Full Tower fits the bill, and has gobs of drive space. The extra hieght will also aid in airflow and dissipation. Use an external SCSI enclosure on all 7200 and abov RPM drives, especially if using a faster P2 system. The P2-400 is a toaster. In need heatsinks on the CPU, the BX Chipset, the AGP chipset, and the VRM. That will be hot inside even w/o drives.
