I hear ya', but I hate the Blue-LED's... hate.

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?

Exactly! No need to worry about shipping, or other complaints I see on those ratings. I'm going there tonight (15 min away) and picking-up my parts.

AAAHHHH, I see. That's nice!
Good luck with the build, looks like some nice parts there for sure! Take some pics for us. I want to see this "custom gaming chair" too!

You bet! The gaming chair is in the works also :)

personally i hated the tri-cool included in my P182. I swapped all of them out and instead put Scythe S-Flex 1600RPM fans into the case. A lot quieter with better performance.

Once my Noctua fans are in, my system should run cool and quiet.
Just wish my local store stocked IC Diamond 7 Carat TIM :(

Speaking of which, I have Arctic Silver 5 at home...
Should I upgrade to ceramique, while I wait for my ICD 7 to arrive?
Or just install everything with Artic 5 for now, save some money, and then replace with ICD7 later on?

It would build with the AC5 for the moment. It's not worth spending just to get some ceramique while you wait for the ICD7.
