Errors - if something goes wrong, I get an error message. If I 
get an error message, it is correct.

Maintenance - open the CPU drawer, and everything is accessable.
No cables in the way, anywhere.

Responsive, even when loaded.

Sucks huge amounts of power, yet never gets too hot, because everything
in it is properly cooled.

Soft off, nice front panel, etc. (I really should wire it up to
power on/off the external drive cabinets. I have all the cables...)

Too big to steal.
