Disadvantages: None so far - only been using for 6 weeks

...;) OK some updated info, added 4th September 2008 I've ran my ATI HD 4870 Crossfire (2 videocards) setup almost 2 & half months. I also changed my CPU to E8500 with overclocking. Also memmory increased to 4 GB of RAM, so I had to change Vista from 32-bit to 64-bit to support the amount of memory. This new setup certainly consumes more power.

The chassis weighs in at 22.7kg and has a 2U rack height with a depth of 66.6cm, this is important for IT managers looking to pack as much processing power and storage space in a cramped datacentre or server room. The memory modules could prove finicky to remove if you have big fingers and cabling got in the way when trying to take out the fan.
