Go for the round cables instead of ribbon cables inside. The cooling potential is better

I always use round cables, I thought they did away with ribbon cables.
That case I picked has absolutely badass cooling, I'm very happy with it.
My desktop is on 24/7/365 unless the power goes out. It'd reboot itself but I still have a snag in my boot.ini that thinks I still have windows 7 on a partition and it goes to it first and finds nothing, etc.
I've never taken time to take the hook out. That's how lazy I am.
I just checked and I have 33.5 gigs of program files. That's all cleaned up, and it's still 33.5 gb. I'm not gonna bottleneck my system or make my system a nuisance by being forced to put program files on another partition, etc. It makes no sense.
If I was just playing games all day, it might be worthwhile, but I never even owned any scsi stuff or raptor stuff because I have an extra second a day for things to load.
I did have a buddy that spent all the money for Matrox video cards and scsi, and watched his system performance. When it worked, which wasn't often, it really screamed. He could render video in half the time I could. I was okay with turning it on and going to bed, though. lol
