Seems like they tick all the boxes for my needs, pica style psu, small case, same fuetures as the MB build ones, just no pci x16 (4) and other things cut awway i dont need, sould make less heat then too right!?

1.are they bad for BIOS/overall performance in the older build Zotac ZBOX they did !??

2. i guess i could put in a new bigger fan if needed !?? its easy access whit thumb screws like the side of a normal pc, access to all the hardware.

3. are external Blu rays like the Plextor PX-B120U 4x Slimline Externa loud spin noise vs a internal

4. what ram 4gb block for good speeds , in so-dim 1066 and is a 2.5 HDD like the Seagate Momentus 5400/7200 noisy, if so what sould i get then if not a SSD.

anyone having the older zboxes and can comment on build and bios /fan noise options, thanks
