Wow, the P12 fan really isin't as good as i thought. Can you review the fan like you've done with so many other fans, Mike? Would really appreciate it. It really wasn't said that it isn't a good fan. It's just even more powerful than one would need. With the adaptors, I don't think that is a proble...

@ Cromelex: The red one costs a lot more though :/. Not worth it.

Antec P182 + top down blower coolers

My first post on these forums, as I intend to make my rig somewhat more silent (but not absolutely silent, as I do some overclocking :P ).
