Aside from reducing temps, the other point of his modding exercise was to
reduce the level of noise. Delta fans didn't
just get the nickname "Screamer" from the noise you make if you accidentally get your finger caught on them when they're running.

It had 5 more 3.5" bays, but with that case width I can pretty-much guarantee they'll be mounted lengthwise [like the 5.25" bays] rather than perpendicular to the length of the case [see pic of mine in previous post]. The problem with that in a case that's already shorter than his current 1 is that the back end of the hard drives & the IDE cables will be
very close to the heatsink on his graphics card.

No, you only linked to the 1 that was shorter. You
mentioned 1 that was longer, but the length of that 1 would still only be roughly the same as what he's got now, when what he needs is a longer 1. Well, that & some lessons in
Cablegami.
