OpenSuse used to let you install GRUB on a different disc to the O/S so I had disc 1 setup with Windoze booting and disc 2 with GRUB but both O/S's on disc 1 and data on disc 2.
GRUB can boot both Linux and Windows, my normal booting but when Windows wants to do updates it also wants to reboot multiple times so I can switch to that loader when needed. Now it forces GRUB to same disc as the O/S which is a pain so I'd want separate discs for each O/S type, GRUB should still load Windows and Linux.

I don't want a flashy case either but since it lives under the desk it's looks are less problematic. The lights in mine are a feint red behind front fans, normally switched off. My issue with the case is it blows cool air into the desk and chills my lap.
