New Build - Gimme your opinion

[dttuner]

Will a 140mm fan fit on an Ultra-120 heatsink?
Will an Antec Nine Hundred case fit 140mm case fans?
Do I need more Power Supply, than a Corsair VX550watt? TX750watt?

1. not sure. you could probably jerry rig it on the Ultra-120 with some zip ties. would look tacky as hell and may not give any better performance.
2. i dont know the answer to that one. i believe polobunny along with some other people have that case so you'll have to get the answer from them
3. the Cosair 550VX will be more than enough power for that system and then some

The 900 takes 120mm's.

Just purchased 5 Noctua NF-P12 120mm Case fans, to replace the God-aweful Blue led fans that come with the Nine hundred, and one for my Ultra-120.

The Corsair 750watt PSU has a $50 mail-in rebate, which will make it cheaper than the 550, in the end :)

Other than that, I've completed my order of the following:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (good call gvblake22)
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 Motherboard (thanks screwball)
Corsair XMS2 PC-8500 dominator 2gb RAM
EVGA 8800GT overclocked 512mb
Corsair TX750watt power supply (thanx gvblake22)
5x Noctua 120mm case fans
Ultra-120 CPU heatsink
Antec Nine Hundred case

Where are you finding a Corsair 750W PSU with a $50 mail in rebate? The VX550 I suggested is $80 after $15 rebate (plus shipping).

The Antec Tri-Cool fans that come in the 900 are actually really good. All but silent on low and medium setting, and fairly quiet on high. They move plenty of air at each setting.

Just make sure you have that thing purchased by June 1st (Sunday) because that's when the rebate expires! I also just noticed that the Newegg rebate is expired, so that deal is no good anymore...

By the way... love the Freelancer pic in your sig. That game is awesome!
It's one of many reasons I am building my PC :)

Thanks! Done, everything I mentioned purchased and picking up tonight =D

Yeah, I've put a lot of hours into Freelancer! Still a little disappointing though, they could have made that game SOOO much better!

Anyway, take a look at the Micro Center ResellerRatings and decide for yourself if it is someplace you want to buy from...

EDIT:
Just noticed this...

Do they have a local store near you or something?
