| I went for DS4's and XTX50's.
Although the XTX50's are a fairly new product, you have to think about that all the internal components are the same as the ATX/TX series, and only the plastic enclusore has changed. I don't think there should be any additional reliability problems when compared to the ATX's or TX's
What I like about the XTX50's:
Nice exhaust ports that are longer than the ATX series.
The overal size is the same as the ATX's.
What I don't like about them:
The purge button is smaller and oval shaped and this makes it just a little bit harder to find it when you want to purge. I've got used to it now and can purge with no delay, but it can be annoying for the person who you're donating to if he has to spent that extra split second to find it... If I knew this before I bought them, it would have made my choice a lot harder, and I'd probably have gone for the ATX's instead. Saying that, if it keeps worrying me for my buddie(s), then I can always put ATX front covers with the nice big and round purge buttons.
