SS Phase units are more for 24/7 use imo, they really don't buy you much if you are benching and going for hwbot points because others with DICE/LN2/Cascades will beat you.

But if you want a really nice machine for gaming 24/7 use a SS Phase is great.

At this point in time there are very few Phase builders in the US and most build benching style units as it is next to impossible to get Phase Cases here anymore.

Who I see that are building now are Ron from Under-The-Ice who makes really nice units, or Sdumper who has built a fair amount of units. You might even be able to get a CRYO-Z if you live near a Computer Center in the SF Bay Area, those don't ship very well tho.

Shiiping these units is a problem tho.
Didn't the "Hydra" get a bad rap for weakness tho? Aside from the other units....
