If games were programmed for dual proc yea it'd be awesome. But dual procs take on two completly different elements of the same task, like rendering two different frames of an animation for example, and aren't a cumulative effect. Mini-towers are fine for like a lan system or for people who have limited space or those with lil skinny girl arms and can't carry a manly case, ie morph. ;-) Shuttle cases beyond looks are still silly to me for serious gaming systems, cause serious gaming systems give off serious heat and that is only made worse when there's like no open space for air flow. I personally use one of the Antec SOHO server mid-towers, which imho is one of the better plain mid-towers, and unless the side-panels locked or screwed in for transport there's a handle you just grab and it swings open. Take that. ;-) Of course if a case is just uber-cool and quality it can be smaller, i.e. one of those nice expensive fancy aluminum Lian-Li ones. *drools*

erformance of LCD's just doesn't make them a justifiable purchase when for the quality of a decent CRT, you could replace your whole computer.
