Those look interesting. Can you upgrade them by yourself? Or do you have to pitch them after 2-3 years like a laptop. They pack a lot of stuff in there, so I'm guessing they run hotter than a tower. I was going to buy the p180 in hopes that it would last a couple system builds. Do you think it'll be good for it?

Oh, and about the PSU, is anything more than 600watts really necessary? I don't think I'll be using SLI or Crossfire. Would you reuse a power supply in a new system?

Thanks for everything thus far!
