I like it that way... I have a gaming tower (coolermaster) - [but I dont play games!!] - with loads of room - its on its third motherboard with room for water-cooling if necessary. My disks are easily removable and are in 2 enclosures 1 a single ORICO housing the system disk the other an ORICO 3 drive slot 4 bay hdd internal enclosure. I have a disk array in the 3 bay enclosure. I can swap out/upgrade disks with ease. The disks just slide in or out with ease - no case opening required. I can change components this way and upgrade for many years with minimum fuss. So far from "good old days" - I think this is the way to go if you want a long-term evolving system. Spend some dosh on the enclosure!!! -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
