Yes I realize that thanks, just wondered if there was some new product combo out there for existing towers, i.e. dual power supplies with controller boards, from your comment I assume there is not. I'd be willing to migrate all of my hardware, i.e. motherboard, monitor card etc, to a new case, if I could find a case which includes a controller card for the power supplies, or a case that comes complete with such. > I'm curious - why does your desktop needs so much redundancy ? Because I use the desktop machines about ten hours a day, I work out of home, doing graphic design, web design, uploading files to server, managing server, etc. The home desktop machines are just as mission critical as the server I upload to is. Maybe more so, because if there is a problem server side, I need remote access to it 24/7. _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts!
