(Actually, it's when it's hot, not cool ... sorry) I don't know what you have, but this technology - if you can call it that - has been around for some time: the mobo I have or had that has or had this feature ... well, my present PC is at least five years old, I think more, and I can't remember if the feature when I first encountered it was/is in that PC or the one I had before it. -- J.

I've never actually owned a device that uses firewire, so that was a non-issue for me. It's got a butt-load of SATA slots though, and I've got a front panel with ESATA to use it, which is good enough for me.
