Money well spent IMHO since this rig will last me for the next three to four years.
 
Looks very nice. First time I've seen that case and I like it. Whaen you start using that mouse, post back here and tell us how you like it. Air constantly blowing on your hand sounds cool. 🙂
 
I will. There's two fan speeds: Hi and Lo. I have it at home, but haven't tried it yet. I see in your sig that you have the Corsair Value memory. Good deal. I would have bought it too, but I got the GeIL cheaper.
 
You will not like your new rig.

The Delta 120x38mm fan will drive you crazy at 53.0 dBA.

Do you have an idea what 53 dBA sounds like?


If you live next to a train station you will probably not care, but if it does bother you a Panaflow 120mm L1A would push enough air and be quiet.
 
Jeff, I've been through this. I know what I'm getting into. I don't mind loud cases. I'll have that puppy strapped to my GateWatch and will drop it to half the speed. I'm overlocking like a bitch and I don't want wimpy air cooling. I want the 151CFM, screw the 53dB.
 
Wow , first time I have heard of someone that wants a loud case! Can you say a running vaccum cleaner 24/7? 😀
 
Yeah, your case is sexy.

I don't have the Nyko mouse, but I have the Nyko USB controller. It's lovely.
 
My friends have a new nickname for my case, they call it the "the G5". It looks so sweet with the GateWatch in the front like they belong together. The color matches perfectly. I gotta get some batteries for my cam and when I'm done with it, I'll post a complete review of it including temps and overclocking.
 
The case looks great. Only with a silver case, how will it look after you put in the optical drives? Do you have opticals with black bezels? Please post a pic of your rig after your done assembling it. 🙂

Since it is silver and hard to match colors, too bad it doesnt have all four drive bays as stealth. Nonethelss it's still good case, that I would buy. Only, since I'm using three drive bays, I wonder how that case would look with a black bezel from my Audigy 2zs platinum?
