Good for you!

CPU, HDD and case temps at load and idle? There's no active cooling on your HDD?

What memory and how much?

How quiet/loud is that Raptor in the Zalman?

What's the noisiest thing in your system?

1GB in 2 sticks of 512MB OCZ 3200 cas 2

CPU temps are about 38 idle and 52 under load.. I'm not sure about other temps yet, just built it the other day

No active cooling on the hard drive, but the panaflos lead to enough airflow through the case that I'm not really worried about it too much..

The raptor idle noise is great in the zalman. I can still hear the seeks, and I might try suspending the zalman in elastic cable. Software tells me that the Raptor has AAM, but I've been unable to turn it on so far.

Nice, nice box, daedalus! But those fans sure don't look like 120s in the pictures.
