Mike,
Quite honestly you've just got too much in and on your A4000. You setup is
nice, but is probably not good for any of the components you mentioned.
Your absolute best alternative is to purchase a ToaterOven 4000.
You then can place all the equipment you mentioned in one tall tower case.
It's around $900 tho, but gives you 11 drive bays and a 300 watt power
supply. There's also a ToasterOven six-pack thathas 6 drive bays, however,
I do not know if it allows you to place your motherboard in it. (It may be
a hard drive chassis) Which brings me to the AVEC tower. With it, you
can place your CD-Rom, 1 gig drive and Kitchen Sync in it. Plus have room
to place more drives later if needed.
Your power supply is really in jeopardy as it is well overloaded, the fan in
a 4000 ps is a poor excuse for a fan, and unforunately is mounted on the
inside of the machine and not next to the case... Sucks hot air onto the
power supply.
If money isn't much an issue, go for the ToasterOven 4000. Everything in one
case, and plenty of room for expansion, if you need even more slots later
down the road, you can get the Big Ethyl Sisterboard, whicj replaces the
measly 4 slot dauterboard with an 11 slot one. 2 video slots, and 8 more to
play with! Hope this helps...
J.David
