Thanks for the link Bluefront, but I don't think that's the Tricool. jacklyman, I only plugged it into the cpu fan header as an experiment.

Antec Tricool 120 mm Case Fan (Quieter than Nexus 120)

I have the Antec 3000 B which comes with one Antec Tricool 120. This fan is quieter than the Nexus 120 as can be heard from the sound files at the end of the review of the Antec 3000 B on SPCR. I'm disappointed with the buzzing noise of the Nexus 120. It's the loudest thing in my computer. The sound...

I'm getting a X800 XL, but I will probably need one when I upgrade my video card next year.

Can anyone please post pictures of the misalignment of the Antec 3000B cpu duct and the DFI Ultra-D cpu?

Would the duct get in the way of the video card?

I'm thinking of getting the Gigabyte X800 XL w/heatpipe and the Thermalright XP-120, so they will be tight fits.

The Seasonic S12-430 doesn't have a PCI-E plug and it would cost me $30 more than the other PSU's.

Is it a good buy when compared to the Enermax Noisetaker 485 W and OCZ Modstream 450 W? The Thermaltake has Active PFC while the other two don't. I would...
