The reason I'm looking at the dual P/S option is because I want to run so much more.. BIG fans, lots of hard drives, tape drive, CD writer, DVD, and of course an Athlon with some hefty components. I currently have 2 fans but I usually run with one side off the case. I have a couple nice 5" fans that are begging to be set up as a wind tunnel kind of thing but I need more power to do that.
