My video card is pretty cool now anyway, since ive had this 690 it idles @ 45*C default fan speed. Im just wondering if its gonna be worth the extra noise. I have a new 120mm Scythe S-flex 1200rpm just sat here doing nothing

Well if you cant hear the fan over your case fans then i would put it in, always good to keep a video card cool under load.

I mean, when it moves, do you mean that it kinda bounces around a little? If so, then well yeah: it's huge!
no like moves like trying to push a truck in gear. its really hard and it only moves a little tiny bit not a big deal.

zip ties in the mounting holes in the fan and thru the drive bay area.

I am playing with a CM 690 nividia case right now, I was thinking about powder coating it black but with the green window I think it will look too dark, it's green now thru the window so I might just leave it as is.
I'm going to order 5 of the CM R4 fans next week, 2 green led'son the top and 1 in the front, the other 2 will be with out the led's, in a couple of months I'll add the guts when I decide what I want inside.
Here's a few pictures so far.

I am also going to paint my case in the near future. Red in the middle-front and middle-top. Also, paint the inside black. Should i just buy primer and paint? sand, primer, sand, paint. All input is appreciated

It's still a good possibility that I will, I just had my Lian-Li powder coated orange and it was very impressive when I got it back, plus I am in no hurry to get this done with 2 other computers running right now.
If I do I will have to paint the front and top black after I get it done so it don't show thru the mesh.
