[CUBE] Giga vs. Powerlogix

[Jonathan Bauer]

	For what it's worth, I installed a Powerlogix 1.2 processor card and 
it works without any problems for me. I followed the directions very 
carefully. It is also a good value. I did install the panaflow fan, and 
it does not make any noise. I've swapped into the powerlogix case, but 
left the fan in because it was too much bother to remove it and it is 
effectively silent.
