i saw a review of the thermaltake DuOrb cpu cooler yesterday, dont know if the cooling is comparable with the ninja mini, however i instantly thought it would fit perfectly in the GD02.

do what i did on my vga card, just buy a vf700and remove the fan :P
if your vga card can be cooled by standard flat singleslot heatsink a vf700 cooler without a faan is more than enough.
atleast in my experience.
i have a geforce 6600.

i just installed my new 400gb seagate drive,
i must say im impressed how quiet the seek noise is. much lower than a maxtor diamondmax 10 is unless you screw with the aam settings.
i dont think ill even need to tinker with the aam settings on this one.

21" thats about 50-55 cm i guess then. 25 cm inside and 25cm outside the case.
should be long enough to use externally.
and even if its not i can always make the cables longer :)
too bad theyre not sleeved :(
