Overture II Little Known Fact

to me, at least:

That there is a 120mm PSU in the BOTTOM. I never knew that, thought that just like the Overture I it sucked air in through the side o.0... very interesting. Same with the blower fans.

It runs cooler, and quieter, than the other HTPCs reviewed. What's nto to like about the semi-new Overture II ? ;P

Any users of the Overture II? I'm looking for something I can put in a rack (not rack mounted) so the horizontal orientation appeals to me. But this case seems like it might run too hot with an X2 4400+ setup.

I am building a HTPc system in this case. Surprisingly the case has really a awesome cooling potential. I will be posting some stuff in the gallery soon, so look for it there.

I built a close-to-quiet system for my friend in an Overture II and I think it's ok considering it's in a shelf which is open from front and back and there's only a couple cm's at the sides, top and bottom. With X2 3800+, 6800 Ultra, 2GB ram and 1 SATA HDD, it's not the coolest system, but fairly quiet anyway.
