I know it's probably been covered a million times but I'm having the standard last minute nerves while my mouse hovers over the buy button, can some one confirm that the following fit ok into the Antec Aria

Should hopefully reduce the noise levels a little! Thanks in advance!

Absolutely, provided the socket on your motherboard isn't right in one corner, in which case it might obstruct with the side of the case, but height wise it's fine

Shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks Mul, those were the answers I was hoping for and expecting just last minute jitters!

The PSU is quite noisy too, you might want to consider putting a better 120mm fan in it.

It's on my list, I'm going to see how I find it after the CPU and graphics swap out, the finger on fan test has pointed to these as the main culprits, no doubt as soon as I shut them up I'll start to hear the CPU fan and then it'll be the hard disks, one day the truly silent PC will arrive.

Quick update on this one for anyone who is interested, got both new coolers installed a couple of days ago without any major problems (Had to have the MB out but that isn't a surprise in a case this small! It is even quieter than I had hoped for you can't hear it from the sofa which is exactly what I was after.

Sadly the hard disk has now developed the infamous death rattle so I'll head of to the HD section and find me a nice quiet replacment.
