Got my birthday a few weeks away & the other half is hassling me about what she can buy me.

So here's a few things I'm looking at possibly asking for:

Corsair Carbide 500R.

Currently have a Fractal R3 but the cable management space is lacking and due to space restrictions I can't have that much longer a case, otherwise I'd have considered a Corsair 600T, but it's too long for the desk :D
Really looking at keeping the system cool, but also quiet, as I hate things sounding like a jet taking off.


Looking at getting some nice & quiet, but good cooling case fans. Not entirely sure on the spec for the fans that are included in the 500R but recommendations for 120/140mm fans please.

Lastly a keyboard.

I've been using a MS Natural wireless keyboard for years now & prefer the shaped keyboard layout but that doesn't mean I can't change back to a straight layout.
I tried a m8's Logitech G19 and it was very nice to use, but we all know they're quite expensive but fully laden with features so something along those lines for features would be ideal.

Cheers guys :D


Current system:

Intel i7 920 @ 3.2GHz
Asus P6T motherboard
12gb OCZ/Gskill ram 1600MHz
Corsair H50-1 CPU cooler
2 x Sapphire 5850 Xtreme (Crossfire)
Corsair HX850 PSU
 
Cheers.

I have been looking at the Thermalright TY-140 or the Scythe Slipstream 140 as they seem to be pretty much up there on most test, although I don't know much about the Akasa, but the spec looks very impressive.
