That's a pretty good case. I'm still beating myself over passing up on that FREE case!
Sadly enough I might have to use a mid-tower case as full towers got expensive all of a sudden.

What thunder?? lol
I think that case will make a great addition to your build Rob. ;) Buy it now tho, cause they will go fast!! The fan controller is pretty cool but it will take up a 5.25 bay, you know that right?? Only 3 burners there Rob!! :P
You won't be disappointed in the RED fans from Thermaltake but they are a bit louder (ok if you don't have uber-sensitive hearing) than the Cooler Masters, Silverstones, Nexus, Silenex, or even the Scythe case fans......lol. PLEASE let's NOT get into the fan discussion again!! Russ you HUSH!!!!! :P
That cpu cooler will be just fine there buddy. lol. ;P
....gm
btw I'm not getting that case. We had to have some trees trimmed here at the house so that TOOK that money right out the door!! :(

You mentioned thunder, and that's what you will get with two of those fans. I bought one for the D-940 and it roars! Thunderblade is a strange name for something that is supposed to be quiet.
Get you a pair of these!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835220014
They come with their own speed control and at 1300 rpm, they move almost as much air as the Thunderblade, without the Thunder! LOL!! It's what I use for my rear 120mm fan. Then you won't have to spend $75 for a fancy fan controller. Since mine sits about 3' from my right ear, I can tell you that is is pretty quiet and will get quieter with a month or so's use as the ball bearings will run in and smooth out!
Best Regards,
Russ

Trust me when I tell you, those things are God awful loud. We are going to change out the one in the D-940 shortly because of all the racket it makes! It's advertised as 21 dBA, when in reality it's more like about 31-33 dBA or even more. That's why I say it's aptly named! Even at reduced speed, it's very annoying! I actually hated giving up my LED fans, but I just couldn't stand the noise anymore. My ears thank me and I'm rewarded with very low temps! LOL!!

Russ

Never mind I figured it out.
Also about LED fans, sure they look all nice in the photos. Try playing games or watching movies with them though, they are a PAIN.

Well if you DO get a decent GPU(they're not much) you can play some really good games.
I prefer playing FPS games on a computer, but since I have a crappy mouse I like using my Xbox 360 controller lol.

rob,
if you insist on fans with leds I recommend this fan antec tricool 120 I have a blue one in the front of my case. it has three speeds and the speed does not effect the led brightness like a fan speed controller will do. I run mine on medium and can barely hear it. they also come in green and multi color besides the red and blue.

Out of curiosity I put an S-Flex SFF21F in place of one of my Antec 900's tri-cools. It pushes far more air... lol
I'm now not so impressed with the 900 fans, good god they're loud on anything but low.
