Thanks for the advice on the PSU. I like the case too but I don't see any
EATX from Antec.

I ordered the fans from veraxfans so that is my cooling solution. Now since
they state that they are 3 U-form I wonder if that'll exclude normal cases
such as chenbro sr107 or the stacker 830.

I did join 2cpu on Sunday but they haven't processed my membership as if yet
so I can't post over there.

A "Rack Unit" is defined here. 3U is roughly 5.25", which should fit within
an 8" wide case.
