Any idea where you can actually buy them?

Well, I've tried rubber washers exactly like those, and they just don't achieve the level of performance that suspending does. However, I did suspend my raptor quickly and without much planning, so I know it can be improved on greatly.

doesnt your ram have to run single channel in those slots? dual channel is supposed to be in the 1 / 3 or 2 / 4 (colorcoded) slots.

the op is correct about the ram and wher it is located for dual channel operation - http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4-F&class=mb

Where'd you buy the windowed Praetorian or did you do that yourself? Looks nice.

Cool.

I bought the window seperately. However, the side panel is glossy, as opposed to the rest of the case which is brushed aluminum. Its not terribly noticable, but if I get the balls to do it, I want to cut a window in the stock side panel. Anyone have good guides for cutting windows?

Nice goobernoodles! I have that same case and I was wondering if you have any tips in regards to a nice wire-job. No matter what I do I can't get the wires to be nice and neat :|

See this link. I bought one for my Cooler Master Praetorian, just like the OP did. Unfortunately for anyone interested in picking one up now, there's been an arbitrary and staggering price hike for this item recently. I bought mine just a month ago for half the price.

Me too! I have a Vantec Nexus NXP-305 Fan/Light Controller (black w/ blue CCFLs) in addition to the obtrusive case's front FireWire and USB cables. It's a cable management nightmare. I've done all I could and it's still so messy just behind the HDDs. I'm at a loss as to what to do!

No, he's using MSI mobo - it's 1-2 and 3-4 for dual-channel operation

Nice setup OP!
Kinda similar with mine below

Lian-Li PC-6087B
Seasonic S12-600
MSI K8N Neo4/SLI
AMD Athlon64 x2 3800 @ 2.7Ghz

2gb (2x1024MB) OCZ DDR500
XFX 7800GT w/ Zalman VF700Cu
Hyundai L90D+

You've got nicer case & HDD!
