A closer look at the side panel reveals a filtered 80mm LED fan

Opening the case and you'll notice the quality of these LED fans. Matching the workmanship of the paint, these fans are not cheap one-offs...

A Raidmax 420W power supply is included as part of the 868. Its a bit short on the Molex plugs, but it seems to be decent for output line voltage.

32.0A total on the 5v line is more than enough for any Overclock.

     4 Molex plugs is very disappointing. For a 420W two to three times this many plugs are pretty much the standard. Most AGP cards now need optional power, so 1 HD, CD, CDRW, and that's about it unless you decide to use some Y-adapters.

There is enough room for making a small file server with a 6x 3 1/2in HD bays and 4 CDROM bays

     Here is a better look at the room the 868 has. I really like this case design. It was new a few years ago and allowed for a lot of fans for good cooling. Its a well-executed but relatively timeless design

4x80mm fans should provide enough cooling even for a SCSI RAID arrangement.
