    How to stop turbulent fan noise without cutting up my case...

    of course better is subjective, but not when it comes to cooling.. cooler is always better.. and the point i was trying to make is that you can take any case and make it efficient for cooling.. i wasn't trying to talk bad about the antec cases, not at all... i was disagreeing with this...

    Removing Heatspreader Clips

    you can remove the heatspreaders if you want, they're more for aesthetic purposes.. unless you're overclocking a lot and putting a lot of volts to the ram, you dont need any cooling (especially heatspreaders, since you dont need to spread heat, unless you're using rambus ;))

    the circumference of the earth around the equator is about 40,076.5 km and about 40,008.6 km around the poles. 40,076.5km/360 = ~111.3km per degree sqroot(40,076.5/3.14) = ~113km average radius around equator if you were to add, say, 10km to your average radius, thus adding 10km of...

    # of fans sufficeint

    lol. if i had the money, i'd replace all my case fans with high speed fans (tornados or deltas).. i could care less about fan sound.. that's what music is for :) 2 120mm fans (1 for intake and 1 for exhaust) should be adequate for just about anyone. however the more airflow the better, as...

    Socket 754 video upgrade path

    yes in addition to what everone else has said concerning pci-e vs agp.. current top of the line video cards have a hard time using up the bandwidth of agp 4x.. agp will DEFINETLY NOT be the limiting factor for a long time to come.
