It's worth noting that in a high percentage of cases, only the people manufacturing the systems deal with the baffles and shields.

Companies tend to buy them configured to go, and discard them on a predetermined replacement cycle. (My company contracts for the 3 year on-site warranty, then replaces them in 3 years.)
While I agree I do have to recognize there are people who may have to deal with these issues in quantity as fuchsdh appears to have had (has) to do. I don't want to dismiss his experience merely because most may not have to deal with the situation.
 
They're no louder than the cMP...which means they don't make a lot of noise. Of course if you plug all kinds of power consuming parts into one it's going to make more noise. But no more so than a cMP.

As for quality you need to actually look at one. They're no less quality than the MP...IMO they're better quality.

I need to actually look at one? I HAVE used one.

Really? Then how do you explain this comment, from post #52, of yours:

"I have seen one in person, but not the inside. Just looked up some images, and the interior looks pretty modular and efficient in design... but they still are sheet-metal towers. I wouldn't necessarily call them nice - just beefy towers."

That doesn't lead me to believe you've actually used one.

I have used one before; I may have even seen the inside briefly, but I can't remember. Note that using a machine doesn't mean you look inside it. I never said it was MY machine.

People who have used something don't say "I have seen one in person". They say "I have used one". Stop embarrassing yourself...it's obvious you don't have experience with these systems and, as AidenShaw said: What's apparent is that you seem to have a bias that "quality" requires that a half-eaten apple be on the box.
 
SERIOUSLY they shoulda consider wheels as extras for this mac pro cases like lian li has.. the other day almost killed myself carrying one of these and the handles cut your hands like butter
