I have an AM3 board, so the Xigmatek's fan direction is up to begin with - the top mounted exhaust fan directly above will be perfect. I have three Scythe 120mm fans I can put in the front and the side panel. Should be very cool, which is a help where I live (over a 100 F a lot in the summer and the PC's room can hit 80 F frequently).
Yeah, I've heard about the lack of vibration control on the hard drive mounting. I'll have to try to track down some tiny rubber washers.
Sounds good guys, thanks again.
