Building a new PC, suggestions appreciated

I installed my HD's in the LOWER area, where the PSU is as well. Works like a charm, my HD's run really cool like this. For your videocard, a fan in the 'upper' HD compartment might be a nice idea, although I personaly don't think it's necesary, my old 8800gts 320mb doesn't run to hot in my p182, and I even removed the TOP fan, so I only have 2 casefans in my p182. You could take out the top fan btw, since I noticed it made very little difference, and install it in the front instead.

Ah sweet, thanks. Yeah from what I've read the new G92 GTS runs cooler than the rest of the 8800 series so that shouldn't be a problem.

Did placing the top fan in the front seem to make more of a difference?

Heh, I didn't try. I replaced the fan in my PSU with one of the antec tricools, the topfan to to be exact ... I junked the old 120mm fan in my PSU, so only 2 real casefans in my p182 right now.

Gotcha.

I also notice there is no case speaker. Is that important for post codes?
