         As for me, I like a large case because I like my   
   components to stay cool. I have lots of HDs and cards in my   
   cases. I have a server case for one of my systems and the rest   
   are mid-tower cases.

         I find that most Mac users to have little tools. They are   
   taught that smaller is better but not always. I mean who in   
   their right mind thinks the DVD or Blu-ray is going anywhere   
   soon? It's like Apple says it and these people parrot it. If   
   that isn't being in a cult, I don't know what it is. I wonder if   
   Apple still puts DVD burners on their new iMacs and the Mac Pro.
