b. The power supply fan blows air out of the case.

c. There are fewer wires used to connect switches and lights on the front of the case.

You should have read your book first and then attempted to answer the question.

It's b because there are such things as fanless power supplies.

 

[David Brent]

that's retarded, no psu i know of sucks air into the case. unless they mean it blows air out of the psu (which is inside the case) and not the case...

 

[sniperruff]

maybe they want to say that the purpose of that fan is not to blow air out of the case.

i am betting if you read the book, there would be an exact statement in there about this

 

[keeleysam]

Is this a practice test? Where did you get it?

I love shi, crappy questions like this.

a. How many people have memory tabs that hit the AGP slot?
b. Sounds about right if it has good air flow.
c. Fewer than what? Than BTX, AT...?
d. Easier than what? It is possible to use shorter cable lengths than you use in AT, Micro ATX?...
