Hmmm, well I changed my mind a little after more research due to JamieG's post... For now i've ordered the bare minimum for the case itself at least until I finish the rest of my debating over parts :P So I ended up with: Antec P183 Antec Silicone Fan Grommets Scythe Slipstream (1200RPM, Middle/Bot...

As for a CPU cooler , something like the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme 1366 or the Noctua NH-U12P 1366 might be better than that Coolermaster one. You also didn't mention case fans at all. Take out the included Antec ones and replace as follows: Scythe Slipstream 1200rpm fans at 5V as front intake...

The Black / Blue / Green thing is pretty much how WD seperate their drive classes - Black is performance at all cost, with minimal nod towards acoustics. Blue is decent performance, decent acoustics and decent power draw. Green is ultra-economical, with acceptable performance for bulk storage, some...

On my 3 displays I want to be able to have outlook, 4 large powerpoint presentations, word, excel, and maybe Solidworks and a Microchip CAD program running. The only game I play is EVE online, but sometimes I might wa...

Ummm... OK. Why not use the normal power management features to power down the hard-drive? I find this an interesting comment. From looking at the options in windows I don't see an equivalent to what was being proposed though. Is there a way to tell the OS to turn off a hard drive then turn it on a...
