Hi Rocky, Interesting case! 1) Don't attach a fan on the side - that will reduce the effectiveness of front to back airflow. 2) With a large fan on top, this PC may be noisy.

Any advice here? He's going to take the HD from his current box (7200rpm) and put it in the new box. He's doing some on-line gaming so the graphics card is important. (Myself - I think I'm going with the Dell i7 - ~$1000 but maybe a deal will pop up in the next couple days) TIA Rocky _____ From: Noah Sutton-Smolin [mailto:heedleblambeedle at gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2011 9:35 AM To: Rocky Smolin Subject: Document Totals to $789 with the ram I want, but if I can get DDR5 10600 then I'd rather go for that.
