Antec 900 Fun

I think it's a black and red theme anyway. Not red and red. :P

Hey, it's a really good budget mobo! I have nothing bad to say about it, as of yet.

Lol, I thought about that, but dang... 60 bucks for that mobo i got.... it just called to me. Even if it is doa, and abit doesn't like my ebay invoice, it'll only be 25 bucks for a shiney new rma'd board. (and I have alot of fatal1ty stuff, now that I think about it... keyboard, headphones, soon to be a mobo... lol. Shame on me. ) And a 2nd 8800gt, even if I can't get the one off of ebay that I want for under a hundred, I can pick up a matching card for under 200 bucks new on newegg, no problem, + a 2nd akimbo cooler to match the first one, lol. I should really just price out an evga card with that cooler... but I'm not too worried about the 2nd card yet. I'd rather pick up the e8200 and the ram first.

Gonna order my fans and ccfl's tonight though, 4 of these: Newegg.com - Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F 120mm Case Fan - Case Fans... hmm, I love those fans.

Holy crap, 20 bucks per fan!!!!
I would look at some other options before spending that kind of money on each fan dude!

[theburan]

Actually, there's a bulk discount, it's like 12 bucks per fan... and they're worth it, imo. ~70cfm and still silent... I have one wedged into my scythe mine heatsink, and it does wonders. And the fans should last for a long time... so I felt it was worth it.

Although it's funny, the list price on newegg is 30 bucks... so in the checkout it says it's like 120 bucks... with a 17 dollar discount... and then it's 50 bucks total. Makes it seem like a sweet deal. (probably what they want...but dang they're nice fans).

There's places selling it cheaper for sure. Got mine for $11.34 canadian and only bought 1 fan.

[theburan]

Hmm, right now it's 12.99 a fan for me, which is about 11 bucks Canadian, isn't it? Hmm..... where's a currency calculator... hmm, it actually comes out to 13.26 in canadian dollars as of right now, so it's a little bit more per fan. I'll look around a bit before I push the button.

For sure.

SCYTHE S-FLEX™ 120mm 1600 rpm Quiet Fan - Sleeved Products Model: SFF21F [SFF21F] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come - comes pre-sleeved

Petra's Tech Shop

[theburan]

Hmm, the pre sleeved part is really nice, sleeving those little cables can be a pain... especially since I need to find better heatshrink anyways, the stuff I have is too big, although I already have the mesh. Hmmm.... red mesh might be pretty sweet though... or a black mesh with red wrap... thanks for the linkage!

[Yellowhello]

Ya, no problem. I ordered my Zalman fans from P-PC's, the sleeving came out really nice.
