Well, I'm gona sound like a noob, er... wait, i am a noob. Ok well I'm finally doing it and going 64bit. Im getting a:
3000+ Venice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103537
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136157
PC Power & Cooling 510 SLI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817703001
and my friends are covering the gpu as a late birthday gift.

I, kinda went a lil overboard. Anyway I was wondering if I could get more airflow (or is it fine as is?) through the case while keeping it relatively quiet (it can make noise, but my roommate and I have to be able to sleep in the same room) id like to keep 3 pin connectors (to use the mobo as fan controller) and Id like too keep the blue led one in the front if possible too.

Also, do you think a stock FX cooler would work well for a HSF if I can get ahold of one, I carry my case between dorms a lot, and also on the trip home from college from AZ to NV occasionally, so I'm scared to put a XP or Zalman in there because of the weight (also I like to access all the slots without takeing off the HSF so thats kinda a prob with the Zalman for me too)

Heh, sorry to bother you guys with all the questions. Thanks for any help... Man I feel like a noob.

As far as case fans, I like the Thermaltake Smartfans, They are quiet when turned down and have the option of running auto or with the included manual controllers, If you have room for the 120's they are even quieter until you crank them up when needed for game playing or when it's hot as hell in the room.

I should have probably mentioned that the case only has spots for 120mm fans.

look at the wire sleeving, also Bigval has them, and he let us listen to them on high and its almost silent.
plus Speeze make great fans.
