Hey everyone,
Finally got the funds together and am purchasing today. It will primarily be used for gaming at 1920x1080 resolution. Build number is 421728 Will be adding my own HD 5870 to the machine. You guys have any last minute input for me? Can't wait!! ![]() ..Hopefully it magically gets here before Starcraft 2 releases. |

I think i am going to upgrade to the HAF 932 case.
Would that make the noctua fans overkill? The 5870 doesn't generate a lot of heat. |

The noctua wouldn't be overkill since its a cpu cooler, the increased airflow in the 922 should help out the noctua some. Then again the case is mostly opinion / looks based but you cant go wrong with a haf. everything else seems pretty good from what i can see. One thing you may want is to ask DS to change your front fan to blue unless you don't mind doing it yourself. The haf picture is a bit misleading showing it all blue like that. They will throw a cathode in there but there is still a red fan up front stock

looks great, i would consider the 932 as well, but unless you are really pushing the overclocking limits, this will make little difference
