| Metal case? Does that make it better?

Yes actually ... especially in my climate. The metal allows for better heat
dissipation. It acts like a heat sink and draws heat from the CPU allowing
it to run cooler. The case is always cool to the touch.. even on hot days.
It's the surface area I believe. The 4 fans help as well. I'm running a RAID
system and have it overclocked to a slight degree.

My friend has a water cooled system on his and runs at very high threshold
overclocked speeds. His performance tests are way up there.
