2U cases for dual MP1900+

[Renato Silva]

Hi Folks
 We are having problems with heat  on a full tower.......
The problem is . Because the IDE power cables make a mess with the air flow
so the hot air  keep for long time in the case....

I  sugest a  more "clean " case to the fresh air can flow smothly.....

Good Luck
