for now I'll change top and back fan with these:

2xSilverstone 120mm Air Penetrator for top fans

1xSilverstone 120mm Air Penetrator for back fan

they rotating at 1500pm, i think that's enough...

Sort of off topic...actually completely off topic. Anyone have any SSD suggestions? Looking for 120+ GB

Was previously using 2x80gb Intel 2nd gen in raid 0. Recently switched to Crucial C300 SATA III 128gb. Got it for $205 a while back (crazy deal), they pop up on slickdeals every now and again for just under $200.

Or, you can get one of the OCZ Vertex 3rd gen for around $260 for a 120gb. Faster transfer speeds and, iirc, more IOPS. *shrug* mine seems fast enough for me. I wouldn't go much bigger than 120gb, as unless you get an intel 160gb drive, the price per gb starts to increase (generally) and you really only want to use the SSD for your OS/programs, not any sort of storage if at all possible...so I don't personally see a need for much more than 120gb.

I'd like to ask you some more pictures of how you mounted the rad and how you did the holes!

Thanks!

So aside from morphus' kick#$% storm trooper build, I ordered my parts today for the w/c setup I'm doing for my PC in my sig named "Hot Flash". I'm doing an all black and red theme and I was wondering if I could get some help with lighting. I have a xigmatek 200mm red led fan for the front and then I got 4 120mm cm smoked red led fans for the top and h70 I have now. Should I get red or white lighting and should I get light bars or light strips? And here's the parts I ordered. Its an all EK setup
EK Supreme HF red Plexiglas
EK FC6970 waterblocks nickel/acetal
Black Ice stealth 240 rad for the top
Phobya 200mm rad for the front
EK bay spin reservoir
Swiftech mcp655 pump
Primochill red lrt UV tubing
EK compression fittings
I'm going to try and do a push pull for the top if it fits but most likely not. I'm doing the push pull for the front and maybe what I want to do is put a third 120mm rad in the back exhaust internally if its fits as well. No idea though. Ill see that after I get it up and running and I'm going to a build log because I'm gona cut holes in the bottom of the case for a 120mm fan for under the drive cages and then paint the case a radeon red.

So...mounted 4x120mm fans intake, redid TIM on cpu and gpu, switched front fan from intake to exhaust, removed the filter on the front, installed the usb motherboard header splitter, and replaced rear 120mm fan. Computer is appreciably louder, though I think a lot of that is the 120mm fan I swapped in the rear exhaust...that thing moves a lot of air...but 5-7 deg C cooler (based on the core) for the CPU, and about 10 deg C cooler for the GPU. All in all, a solid upgrade.

As promised, here are pics of the LED fans in the side panel:



The grate cuts out a lot of the light so there's no glare on that second monitor, which I'm happy about.
