Floppy access is at eye level when sitting (maybe someday I'll move the floppies into the lower drive bays so they are a tad lower) and I never have junk blocking access to the floppies like you do if you put the case under the monitor. Having it up off the floor makes for fewer dust problems, and also keeps it away from the "little hands" in the family. I would not want a desktop case: having it stand on the desk takes up a lot less desk. -- Flint Pellett, Global Information Systems Technology, Inc. 1800 Woodfield Drive, Savoy, IL 61874 (217) 352-1165 uunet!gistdev!flint or flint@gistdev.gist.com
