<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Hey Willy, I received the
case yesterday.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I believe the PS will
handle the HDD/SBlive/DVD and pvr250</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The PCI config that comes
with it from newegg has the AGP/PCI riser combo</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>BUT in the Silverstone
manual they show an option for a 2 PCI config with no AGP.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>It's not a concern for me
personally as I am using on-board video/audio and I only have the PVR 250 using
1 PCI slot(no AGP card used)</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I'd suggest checking with
Silverstone directly and verifying the ability to have 2 PCI cards just to make
sure.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>BTW, I have used both the
coolermaster 610 and 620 in the past. The 620 is certainly a great case...but I
personally like the Silverstone better.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>FWIW, the Silverstone
guys are some folks who left CoolerMaster to go out on there own.</span></font></p>

the Silverstone is extremely quiet.</span></font></p>

it's quite a bit smaller than the 620 (mostly I care about the height), and that
here's no dorky white logo on the front :-) Is there a spacer plate
