I should have gottent the Xigmatek red's in the first place but wanted to give the Bitfenix fans a go as their 120's are really decent. Should have gone with my first instinct.

I am liking these a lot, but you have to use zipties or make your own holes. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835146003

I had been wondering how they were going to perform. The stats looked a little underwhelming to me. I've heard good things about the 120s though. I picked up their internal USB 3.0 cable and it works good.

Tried those as well. Not a fan of zipties. Not to mention using it as a top exhaust bumps it right against the motherboard (being 30mm).

I'm really interested in the white 600T, has anybody experienced any discoloration with the paint?

Yea, I use the stock fan for the top and the NZXT for the side and front.

Is it best to put the H100 fans into the pump or the front fan controller? Anyone?
Ta!

I've never heard of any discoloration, but the SE case is only a few months old. What kind of discoloration are you worried about?

@alw71...if you want the pump to control the fans, put them into the pump. If you want the fan controller to control them, put them into the controller. I have mine in the pump and it does just fine.

Since the case has plastic, there's always that worry that it can yellow.

I haven't looked at cases in several years, and didn't realize how far we'd advanced with respect to cable management, space management, etc yada. Picked up a 600T last week based on a store salesman's rec + flipping thru this thread. Wow, I am THRILLED with it...I don't have or need a lot of bling, just like a clean look and space to work in. What a pleasure this was to put together, the only thing that slowed me down a touch was pulling the front fascia to get at the box below the drive cages.

In progress:



All done:


I feel guilty about leaving those wires around the water block loose, need to clean that up to match the rest of it!
