Run through their list of promotions for Memorial Day and see if you can't save yourself a few bucks. If nothing else, I know the HAF X is in there with a promo code...Originally Posted by zombie67
EDIT: And be sure to head to Newegg through Ebates, if that's not your normal procedure. 1% cash back isn't a lot, but it does add up over time...

For the HAF-X, it looks like you can install a second 200mm fan in the top. Is it necessary? Would it add much noise? Can someone recommend a quiet one?
I would say that that is something to address down the line. It probably would be necessary (or advisable, at least) if your cards vent inside the case. If they vent (mostly, at least) outside the case, it may not be needed so much...
I've got two cards with Accelero's on them inside mine, still only using the original fan configuration, but I did buy the extra fan to install up top. I haven't found a need to actually install it though. The case fans are barely noticeable as far as noise goes.
Yeppers. With only one GPU in the case that 2nd top fan isn't required. Just keep it mind and don't forget that larger fans make less noise, usually, then a smaller fans moving the same amount of air.
Order placed. $1720, including tax and shipping. I also added a USB wifi adapter for $20.
Looks like that is going to be a sweet rig. I'm going to build one awfully close to that in about a month.. if you have any comments during or after your build, I would love to hear about it
You'll be happy with that Corsair 1200 watter, mine handles everything I can throw at it with no problems. It was running 3 6970's with no power issues, had to drop to two because of heat issues with the center card. Looks it'll be a screamer when you get it built.
Oh Yeah, can't wait to see what that puppy can do. Congrats.
BTW: Welcome to the 1K Klub.
Somehow, when I hit "order" on my wish list, the PSU didn't get added. So a mad dash to FRYs got me this one.
It has been on line for a few days now. I've had some BSOD issues. But it has run steady for the past 24 hours now. Maybe growing pains. Anyway, the second GTX 590 (OC from the factory) arrived today, and is now installed. You can see it here. I am going to leave it 100% on PG for a few days, just to see what kind of stats it will produce. And damn, that SB CPU is fast! FWIW, the CPU is still running stock. I don't want to add OC to the mix until it is stable as-is.
