Looks awesome. BFG is a great company with a great warranty.

I would get an Evercool, Panaflo, or Vantec Stealth low noise 120mm fan for the front of that case. Any quiet case fan will do, but those are the brands I know off hand.

will the vantec stealth fit into the intake on the bqe...and if i put an led fan on the intake on the bqe will it light up the little slits on the bottom of the front bezel...that might look sorta cool

I'd get the 3200+ plus, especially if you're getting the Clawhammer core with the 1MB L2 cache. Also, be advised that you won't be able to overclock much with a SATA drive on the K8N-E Deluxe. You'll need an IDE to get past 10x230 on a clawhammer 3200+. And I'm not sure if this has been fixed, but my K8N-E has a max ram voltage of 2.7, though I've heard that revisions go up to 2.8. However, when running memtest at 250x10@2.7 I passed 100%.

Though at stock speeds the K8N-E is the best alongside the Soltek, except in work station benchmarks where it falls short.

The Vantec is good. I looked at SVC.com (my favorite fan place,) and that fan is $14.99, so after shipping the newegg one is probably the same price. I usually get the 120x38mm Panaflo, which is $10 at SVC, and I get a bunch of fans at oinece, so shipping doesn;t kill me.

the Sata issue only occurs on the K8N-E deluxe if you use SATA 3 or 4, 1 and 2 are the Nvidia chipset SATA connectiors the other 2 are a Silicon Image contorler on the PCI bus. also only the latest rev. of the K8N-E deluxe supports 2.8V vdimm all eariler version (through 1.04) only support 2.7V vdimm. Hope this helps... :)

You can't use SATA 1 and 2 for a max overclock, for that purpose SATA 3 and 4 are used.
