I would think that a larger case (if necessary) would be a lot cheaper and less hassle than trying to re-spec. everything else.

I just bought this case last december and it is the best chassis I've ever owned by a large margin. They do have a larger version of it, but I don't have room for it, and it's so heavy I'd probably have to put it on the floor, which I am loath to do on account of dust and such. This line of chassis are all tempered glass, so they are beautiful but heavy as heck.

I just built two new machines and everything is so easy today as long as things fit!
However I always use tower or Mid-tower cases and they always go on the floor. I also prefer high air flow cases over tight enclosures, this was learned from building dual processor systems years ago. Dual Xeon systems would generate far too much heat for anything but high air flow.
For the new systems I used a Corsair 7000d airflow and a Corsair 5000d airflow. Both cases a very nice and a pleasure to build in. I care little about looking at the stuff, but care more about cooling it all.
Good luck with your new system! I hope everything fits and your build goes smoothly.

Three dinosaurs are running across the desert when they stumble upon a magic lamp.
They rub it, and a genie appears.
"I have three wishes, so I'll give one to each of you," the genie announces.
The first dinosaur thinks hard.
"Alright," he says, "I'll have a big, juicy, piece of meat."
Instantly, the biggest, juiciest piece of meat he'd ever seen appears in front of him.
Not to be outdone, the second dinosaur thinks even harder.
"I know! I'll have a shower of meat!"
Immediately, huge pieces of meat rain down around him.
The third dinosaur, certainly not to be outdone, thinks harder than the previous dinosaurs.
"I've got it!" he cries, "I want a MEATIER shower!"
I'm sorry. I'll show myself out.

So, I'm in Visual Studio, and I have been coding 3 hours straight when <insert interruption="" of="" choice="" occurs="">. For me, my grandson, who is a 2 foot tall Jedi, comes in to say hi, and tries to start pushing all of grandpa's office buttons. He's a cute bugger, so 15 minutes later of defense and hugs, "what the elephant was I doing?"
So, I go back to VS and hit ctrl-z, many times, then ctrl y to put it all back.
This morning, I'm in outlook, and I delete two emails. Email 1 I need, email 2 can stay gone. ctrl-z - email 2 comes back. ctrl z, it goes away again. ctrl z, it's back.
For some company that CONSTANTLY elephants with user interfaces for "improvement", you'd think, you'd THINK, they would drive some consistency.
Pants on head stupid.

The office team isn't like the rest of Microsoft, but they're bringing in the dough, so no one is going to tell them off.

Considering the amount of users and technical debt the Office team needs to contend with, I don't envy them but I do respect their skills.

You're quite right.
One have to differentiate between the marketing team and the programming team at the office department.

And Ctrl-F behaves differently in Outlook as well.

That explains it. In my experience, Marketing never improves anything. All they are good for is comparing feature lists, and insisting that we implement all features present in competitors' products, no matter how useless they may be.

I don't consider it that harshly. What users want (versus need) is often a driving factor in initial sales and that pays the bills. So marketing and sales are needed for that.
But other than that Word is the driving standard at this time. So it is unlikely to be a comparison so much as they need to come up with something new just to encourage people to buy a newer version. That is true in other industries like cars.

Last week I created an email. Hit 'send.' That was followed by a long, awkward pause. Then the email disappeared, so I assumed it was sent.
Found out that our ISP had dropped out for a bit, coinciding with the not-so-pregnant pause. Email was gone - not in sent folder, nor on the server as sent (IMAP copy-to rule). Not in drafts, nor anywhere else I looked.
This is an 2010 Outlook installation, so can't be blamed on newest team members, but still....

If this were in a work environment, I would get rid of any program that "processed" data by losing it. You can't afford to have data going missing without some indication that something went wrong.
(For home use, that would depend on the utility of the program and the frequency of "glitches" of this sort.)

I agree with you. That fact that it happened with Outlook really surprised me, because even the 2010 version has to have had a lot of the bugs worked out of it. But there are things in Outlook I need that I haven't seen in Mozilla, and I don't have the bucks to investigate other programs.

When you partake of the MS world, you play by their rules:
1. You can't win.
2. You can't break even.
3. You can't get out of the game.

Every major philosophical idea violates one of these rules:
Capitalism is based on the idea that you can win.
Socialism is based on the idea that you can break even.
Mysticism is based on the idea that you can quit the game.

Not to worry, I just got this in an email:
Quote: Microsoft is soon coming out with a new Outlook client - One Outlook - which will eventually replace your familiar Outlook clients. Are you and your organization ready for a new Outlook?
