1. I was wondering if anyone has tried the xclio Nighthawk case with 3 3x5.25 hotswap cages in it? Should I try it or go with a more popular case?

2. For mobo selection, I have a ASUS A8N-sli Deluxe with a 4200 x2 sitting in my closet. I was wondering if this board is supported and if it will be an easy boot.
I tested my flash drive with an old socket A board with a 3200 xp cpu (has no sata connections) with 3 ide 80 gig hdds and everything worked awesome.
I'm wondering if I go with the ASUS and buy a cheap vid card if it will give me the same results, or would it be easier to just buy new hardware that is supported?
3. If I do go with the ASUS should I get a PCI vid card and leave both pci-e x16 lanes open?
Thanks the the help.
