looks good minus the chassis fans, haf cases already have good cooling and the rad comes with its own fans =D
 
better off using that money to add some push/pull fans to the rad

not sure if the x uses the same fan as the 932 but you can order a blue replacement on CMs website for the 932.
as far as rad fans, the scythe gentle typhoons seem to be a really popular choice on ocn.net where most people build on thier own, believe justin uses these as well, the 1450rpm version

The i7 930 is being replaced with the i7 950 CPU shortly. For a $11 more (compared to the i7 930) you can now get a better binned CPU based on Intel's quality control standards.

they take place in the same time frame but if you dont play the first one youll be pretty lost playing only the 2nd one. the second one fills in missing parts and adds extra parts to the first
