I'm personally a big fan of the lian li: this is a modded pc-7b plus (I would personally save the money and mod it yourself, it comes out to 75$ if you buy it from newegg no modding and 110$ from these guys modded, also, the unmodded has an 80mm exhaust not a 120mm)...

If you're really interested in keeping the psu cooler then you have two options: 1. keep PSU outside of case 2. use an air duct mod to give the psu intake fan fresh air from outside, (as opposed to hot air from inside of case) never reverse the direction of the psu fans for the reasons that...

yeah, I'm going for the ocz vx (newegg should have them by the time the venice hits the streets...if it ever hits the street). I've finally settled on the freezer 64 as my cpu heat sink and I'm gonna do an air duct mod to the side of the case on the SLK3000-B (if anyone is interested I could...

and while i'm being a punk and not doing my own research, anybody got a link/advice about how to go about cutting a hole into a slk3000-b (It's made of steel) for that 120mm exhaust up top?

oh, cause I'm gonna be using the DFI Ultra-D for my system too.

any links on how to mod that duct?

I'm currently having a lot of trouble deciding between the CM Stacker for the plusses it gets in OCing and the SLK3000-B for it's price. Could the SLK3000-B be used effectively in an overclocked system (AMD Venice core (guessing it's gonna be like the Winchester core))? Is there a compromise in...

how is the positioning of the side fan relative to the CPU? What about in relation to the front intake? I would imagine if it is between the CPU and the front intake you may be sucking out some air that would be better used by your processor. Also, the front intake is positioned in a way that...

Hi guys, I've been going through the forums and haven't really seen this topic discussed. I'm wanting to get a OC'd Venice system when they come out, and I was wondering if the SLK3000-B would do the job with a 120mm fan up front and a 80mm fan put into the little vent thing they got in the side...

Hi guys, thanks for all your help from earlier. I just have one other question: wouldn't it be much wiser to wait for the Venice core to come out with their version of the 3200 as opposed to buying the Winchie? 2 reasons: 1. the price of everything else could possibly drop 2. This will be...

Wow, Newegg is mean. I went over and looked at the FSP 550 and it really looked like it was only providing 18A on one rail. They really need to clarify the fact that there is a CPU rail and a IO rail and they both operate at 18A each. Thanks for pointing this out maluckey, I was gonna waste an...

OK, I'm definately going to be overclocking. I'm also starting to lean towards the 6800gt (because of a Chaos Theory article I ran across). Finally, the FSP-550, that only has 18A on the 12V rail, is that gonna be enough for a rock solid oc? I was leaning towards the OCZ Powerstream 520. The...

So I did alot of looking around, I'm thinking of the following, can you guys make suggestions as to the difficulty of getting this system up and whether the components are too over the top? Antec SLK3000-B with an extra Vantec Stealth 120 NEC ND-3520A BK Maxtor 300GB 7200RPM SATA w/ 16MB...

I would like to build a gaming rig. I have a budget of about 1500, but I could be convinced to go up to 1700 if it is a huge jump in speed. (also willing to go down to whatever if the speed increase for 1500 is barely noticeable.) I might dabble in overclocking (air cooled, and I almost need a...
