I am in the process of building a new system, using an antec 1080B, at the moment the parts that I have are a gainward gforce 3 (from current system), 512 crucial pc 2100, an IBM 30gig 75gxp (2 years old an running fine), a pioneer AO3 DVDr/rw, SoundBlaster 5.1 oem. hauppauge wintv pvr, I will either be getting an athlon XP 1.8+ or a p4 1.8A overclocked to 533 (at 2.4 see thread in CPU forum if you want to make a suggestion), as for hard drive I am probably going with a WD 80 JB, but maybe a Maxtor, I ordered the IBM from dell last weekend but canceled because they were backordered till the 14th. For this setup which 2 fans should I get for the front (and from where) and should I get a separate hard drive cooler, thanks.

i would say that you don't need a hard drive cooler in lieu of the antec cooling setup.......the fan installs right into the removable hard drive cage to blow across the drive.......literally the same thing that a hard drive cooler would do. Additionally, the right 80mm fan will provide good cooling without the annoying wine you'll find with most of those HD coolers.

realistically i'd go with the panaflo L1A or the pcpowerandcooling silencers....but if money is no object get the papsts
