<CITE>there are only two 5.25-inch and two 3.5-inch bays <BR>
any water-cooling setup will have to use an external reservoir</CITE>

It's called the Skeleton, not the "Super-deluxe-cram-all-your-hard-drives-and-water-cooling-stuff-in-here." If you need 9 drive bays, get the P182, Twelve Hundred, or Cosmos. The Skeleton is NOT for people who need 3 GTX 280's, a 1500 watt PSU, 2 Blu-ray drives, 2 Velociraptors, and 4 TB of mass storage.

If you only use one video card, one hard drive, a small/medium size CPU cooler, and a 500 watt PSU, then you should consider buying the Skeleton. Unless you have small children or don't have enough sense to use compressed air to clean out your computer.

It's a good thing Max PC doesn't review cars. You might read something like this: "The Prius loses points for being too small to haul lumber, the engine is too weak to tow a camper up a steep incline and it won't fit 5 people that weigh more than 300 pounds each."

This company has a link on their website of the ongoing litigation with Monster Cable.

http://www.bluejeanscable.com/legal/mcp/index.htm

 Fortunately, the owner of Blue Jeans Cable (BJC) is a former litigation lawyer and did not give in to the demands of Monster. You can read the 8 page letter he sent in response to Monster's claims. It appears Monster has given up on their efforts to sue BJC because the last post was in April 2008. I guess the lawyers at Monster were looking for some easy money and didn't want to actually go to court. Good job Blue Jeans!

 Personally, I think Monster cables are way overpriced and they are trying to create a monopoly. The last time I went into Circuit City, it was hard to find anything that wasn't made by Monster. I think they are making deals with retailers to only carry their brand of cables to drive out the competition. I refuse to buy their products.
