Water cooling is an option as because my birthday is coming up next month and I usually get like $250 but this is my first overclock and I don't wanna push it too far just yet. It would solve the noise problem though...

Why? I went out and checked a bunch of reviews and threads and it still seems kind of inconclusive. The arctic cooler does blow air out of the case and therefore might lower ambient temps. but alot of the cooling results with the Zalman are better than with the Arctic, but not by a whole lot. I...

The temps on my EVGA card are kinda high (around 60C-62C idle) and I think I might want to replace the stock cooling so I can overclock. I've been looking at the Zalman VF-700cu or AlCu and the Arctic Cooling NV5 Rev. 2. It might be cheaper just to replace the stock paste with AS5 or something...

Actually, IMO my components make very little noise. I haven't tested it with a meter or anything but it is acceptable to me and I'm ususally only a foot and a half away from my computer. BTW. I even tested the fans without any other fans or noismaking components on and they were still pretty...

Really? I just bought one and put it in my case and its dead silent. Moved alot of air too. I'm very happy with it, maybe you got a bad one.

I just built my comp and I used the mobo's temp monitor to check the temps and came up with this (Haven't tested under load yet) CPU:32C-34C, Sys: 35C-40C , GPU: 59C and up? Is this the motherboard or is the graphics card getting thet hot? I'm going to add more fans this weekend but I just...

I just built my new comp with one of these. Nice cheap case, pretty good quality for the price. It does look like a Lian-Li and from a few online reviews it looks like it was released a few years ago just for that purpose at a much higher price. I don't have a problem with the fans since I'm...

FINALLY!! Just preordered mine from monarch. Too bad I have to wait like 2 weeks for my motherboard repair though:(.

I got a Modstream 520 for the computer i'm buiding next week for only $99 on Monarch :thumbsup:

Actually in the review it says the case has thumbscrews for the most part.

I'm buliding myself a new rig in a couple weeks and stumbled across this case. Just want a couple of opinions. Review: Skyhawk MSR 4610 Review Only $30 on dealsonic! Link

Well i guess if the premium ain't that much i could hold on for another few weeks. But any more than that and i'll have to be put in a rubber room with a straight jacket form all this goin' to libraries just to get on the internet:).

I'm looking to get a 3200 or 3500 venice for my new system but i can't find pricing anywhere. About how much will the price premium be over Winchesters? I want a 3500 but if the premium is too high I could just get the 3200.

TWO WEEKS:| !! OMG I'm going to kill myself. I thoght I was gonna order the parts for my new rig tommorow! I was gonna buy from monarch cuz when you buy the combo you get HL2 and Far Cry (I haven't had a usable computer in months). Any word on how much they'll cost there? Escpecially the 3500...

Sorry i haven't been able to respond but right now i have to use library computers so i'm pressed for time. i'm going to order the parts tommorow :D ! I think i'm sticking with the speakers for now because its the only way i'll be able to get the other components.
