Option #2
Mirage 4000 Pro (with Mediator)
Pros:
More expansion room (both PCI and drive bays)
Comes with power supply
Cons:
Cost (about $150 USD more)
Case is a bit ugly
You think the Mirage Pro is ugly? I like it quite a bit. (And it's loads nicer to look at compared to the other two towers.. They have more room but took a tumble down the ugly tree.)
I like the power supply on the mirage pro.. It's atx. If you should ever need/want a newer supply, you don't need to find an old at supply and hack it to make it work like my 1200's tower. :-)
Another good thing about the Mirage is if you ever want to use a full length zorro card, you can probably just move the pci cards a bit. With the desktop model, you might not have a choice.
In my system right now, I've got a phonepak, Powerflyer Z3, Voodoo3 2000, SB128, 10/100 NIC and a Spider.. With quite a bit of room to spare.
