(smiles) I love getting weird opinions on stuff like this! Case opens on the side, like any other. The cut is there, although my "manufacturing process" makes it visibly seamless... (grins) I built this case to MY specs, thus the four USB's, the high-speed CD as well as the CD-R and DVD-R players, and the two floppies. The floppies wouldn't be plugged in at all, but they are there to make people go, "WHY?", another feat of mind control. "Is he just stuck in the past, or is he just stupid?" (grins again) I would consider ramcard readers, if there were any standard whatsoever amongst them. As things stand, USB is much, much faster and more efficient for digital camera input. Also, the only reason that people use memory-cards and sticks is because they often don't have web access. In Seattle, that's not an issue. Nearly the entire state is a wi-fi hot spot now... Cooling? Well, since all of this is done internally, Gog, I can't imagine how your opinion makes any sense on it! But I understand where you're coming from, just that I live down the street from Koolance, so I guess I just take liquid-cooling as a given... I'll post a woodworked version here in a bit, after I get done with the rear modeling...!
