new pc: need suggestions

[sh4un]

ill have 3 hds
usin 2 i got in this 1
and ill prolly get another sata drive eventually
i saw the stacker and i just liked that fact it was big, plain looking, and clean. and the fact u cood have thaat crossfan and dual power supplies.
i was also thinkin of somehow installing my m-audio delta 66 somehow in one of the bays

[sh4un]

i like the look of this 1
wood look nice with the blue led in the power supply and a fan on the HD's

my main concern is ill be runnin 2 more IDE HD's
i read the last bay is a bitch 2 get @
and addin drives is some efforty times...
i like 2 be able 2 get in and out

if i decide on this 1, wat fans shood i add on?
id want one on the hds for sure

[vaporize]

they are selling hard drive fans on that site but i think it's pretty useless since you only have one hard drive

just run 2 case fans, one in front, and one at back.
you just need to keep the airlow smoothly inside the case

ill be runnin 3 hds @ the start
and ill be addin some along the way

ill be adding 2 320gb ide drives that i have now
and ill also be adding a m-audio delta 66 which i have now
