Originally I spec'd this system with the Hailstorm case but that doesn't qualify for free shipping. Is the Velox case the best replacement that can be shipped free. It look like it can also take some side hole for extra fans that I'd like for even more cooling.

One question, what O/C is DS typically getting with these new 10 core chips?

Thx for any advice ... neilkaz ...

Probably the Velox, but the Apollo's Corsair 760 t would also work just fine for your setup.   

Not sure about the oc, I'd ask DS. On water, the 4.4 should be typical.

Thx for the advice and thx to Brian in chat.

I purchased yesterday and plowed the Cyber Monday savings back into some even higher end components. I didn't want to feel the need to buy a new computer for a couple of years.

That I will once I know what the O/C is. This is my 4th DS computer and I expect that over subsequent years I'll order more.
