H3 is the only model in stock. I asked them to notify me when they are in stock of the H10 and H5, be. There is only a $10 difference in price between those two models, but I guess I'd lean towards the larger one because I might fit more inside and it has an optical drive slot which I could use to rip discs with in the future. The extra footprint isn't ideal, but it should be okay. Pity because not having a case will set me back or I'll be forced to buy something else in the interim.
Just realized I have to buy DDR3 ram because DDR2 apparently isn't compatible. and now a Juli@ card too. The cost is adding up...

- I did as well. I like a small case because it's perfect for my network configuration of cMP2 but need a place inside case for a linear power supply (the case itself will serve as an excellent heat sink).

But one might be able to make-do with some of the DIY amplifier cases available nowadays.
Instead of heatpipes, has anyone played with smaller, amplifier-styled custom-cut heatsinks like the ones Peter Daniel has shown occasionally on his threads on DIYAudio.com?
With an under-clocked, under-voltaged system something like this might work ok?

Everything matters!
but also this massive thick aluminum case can serve as a heat sink for power components (rectifiers, diodes) of linear PS.

I like the heat sink idea, however, I ordered an Antec NSK2480 case so I would have something to work in for now.
I need to buy RAM next, and assume I want to shoot for the lowest latencies as it appears was done here with kingston hyperx, and not valueram:
5-5-5-11

another looks lower here:
5-3-3-9-24-1T

I could not find:Corsair CM3X160C9DHX using an internet search.
Since I'm doing video also, I figure I'll have to keep using another 1GB stick as before,even after loading xp. I don't see hyperx in 1GB sizes but I'm assume getting 2GB would sound worse since people seem to like 512KB, which I don't see at all in DDR3.
Is this what I should get?
Kingston KVR1333D3N9/1G 1GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM?
=Is this what I should get?
Kingston KVR1333D3N9/1G 1GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM?=
Kingston ValueRAM KVR1066D3N7/1G DDR-III CL7 is better because it have lower timings (CL7): 7-7-7 and it should be work with timings 5-5-5-11 (9 or even 7) in 800 MHz.
