The Rosewill BLACKHAWK, and now it's all up in the air again.
I wish I could smash the Tempest and the Blackhawk together and take what I like from both.
I am leaning more toward the Tempest at the moment.
I like the plain and uniform design. I read that the power/hdd led is super bright, not fond of that idea.
The thing that draws me back to the Blackhawk is all it's extras. 5 fans included (the lights lean me back toward the Tempest), the sata dock (although I probably wouldn't use it much)... Doesn't seem to have dust many screens, which is one thing I like on the Tempest.
I'm still considering.
Any last comments from anyone regarding the parts below?

I'll just do a quick search for a Blu-Ray drive. Not too concerned with this, but I always welcome suggestions.
