Try to just have the CDRW on 1 IDE channel and see if that helps. Is your IDE channel sharing an IRQ?

This is the best case for the price IMO. I have 4 Panaflo L1A's in there and my case temp is only 3C over my room temp.

Actually there are two different power supplies for this case. I have the SX-830 and mine has the PP303XP power supply which is P4 COMPLIANT.

So it depends on what you get and who you believe I guess. :)

Sorry friend that's not official.
If you look closer you'll see the PS in this case is the 303XP model which has a combined power of 180watts on the 3/5 rails. Antec upgraded the PS in this case a few months back.

The one your quoting above is the OLD 303X model that ONLY had 150watt combined power on the 3/5 rails.

I have (2) of the 830 cases with this new PS and it runs my fully loaded 1.2Athlon just fine.

Good deal. These cases are sweet. You might want to edit the title to reflect the rebate though.
