i buy cheap everything .. and a rarely have a problem .. and believe me - i run my computers hard.
The one thing i do is remove the sides off my PCs and use a 10" desk fan to blow directly on the inside ...
so for $10 a fan at wallmart i can effectively cool my systems.

i dont have to worry about the noise as the computers are in the basement office.

I've lost a couple of power supplies (usually the fan stops turning .. but i replace them for $20.

I'm also lucky in the sense that specifically Toronto Canada - is the cheapest place in the world to buy computer parts ...

nah, nothing on the inside stays because the fans blow too hard .. it works like a champ..the harddrives are cold to the touch too which is perfect .. they'll last a lot longer that way..

anyway ... having a spider inside is great .. they catch the bugs from your new program releases :)
