I doNot sure what you're asking here -- what do you need a recommendation on? I thought you already had the fans.
I've heard good things about CM but I'm tempted to get the Define XL case:I haven't kept up on recent cases. When I built my last box in 2008, I splurged and bought a Cosmos S. When I bought it, I said I'd use it for at least 2 generations, if not more, due to the cost. I like the case quite a bit; the only thing I don't like is that I have it shoved back in a narrow opening between the wall and my desk and it is a minor pain to pull it out to do anything with it.
At any rate, Cooler Master cases are quite good and I see a lot of people with high-end rigs using them.
I think the Yate Loons are fine and there is also a 4 pack of Cooler Master fans for $15 at Newegg. If you're going to run the box 24/7 for years or if the box will make it a pain to pull out and replace fans, you might want to put higher quality fans in critical places.I doI just wanted to see what Ruby and Motf would come up with

If I had to choose, I'd skip the monitor for now.Just looked at finances. I can't easily afford a new case without cutting costs for a while. I'll just wait. OR i could just not buy another dell IPS
Well I've saved up for the monitors. I could pull investment money out but that never a good idea.If I had to choose, I'd skip the monitor for now.
I checked and I have until 10/18 to return the 2600K and board for a full refund. They're going to stay boxed up in my man cave for a week or two, it seems.![]()
