i am looking at the AMS EG65BK instead of the shuttle SFF in my other thread. how good are these AMS systems? i really dig this design over the other bland shuttles, plus the handle is a great idea because i go to lan parties like crazy. i see it comes with a heatsink and blue led fan...i hate blue leds. do i have to use that setup or can i just pull my processor outta my current rig and slap the heatsink and fan on there? i was also wondering about the PSU on this one. will the current PSU in there power my P4 3.0, 9800pro, 1 gig pc3200 ram, 2 hdds (120/80), and dvd burner? also, is the psu upgradable on this one? i was looking in a CGW mag and it showed them replacing a PSU in a shuttle case to a bigger unit. this case looks like it supports a PSU you'd find in a mini atx case. i plan on cutting a hole and placing a fan at the front by the agp slot and one on the other side aswell. also drilling holes in the sides to give it some breating room for the 9800pro. anyone out there with these cases or have used these cases, please let me know how all went with them. thanks.
 
Mine has a 6600GT card in it. I have a DVD Combo RW drive in it. There is the hard drive, and a LED front thingy, and 3 extra fans.....huh....It is full! 1 GB ram.

I highly suggest the cuts to both sides. Put a fan on the right side and a fan grill on left side. Make sure that you line up the hole so that it is over the AGP fan. I put another hole in it...blow hole on top. I have air being pulled in from front, through a grill in the face of the PC and air pulled in from right to left. Also air pulled up out of top.

I must have the power supply maxed I am sure but the computer runs 24/7 always. And lots of UT2004 and Call of Duty played on it.

Oh. you might find that one big drive instead of two would be better. The second HDD is right on top of the CPU fan. A second drive will restrict air flow.

I do not think a bigger power supply would fit well, but I never tried to change it.
