Undecided on case.

Thanks. Couldn't resist at that price. Really looking forward to having a full tower; just need the cpu cooler now (DH14 out of stock). Then I have to put it all together, which is something I've never done before. Eeeek!

If you don't want to wait for the d14 to come back in stock then you could go for the phanteks tc14pe instead. It performs almost identically and is about the same price, different aesthetics though.

Out of interest, what are stock 3570k coolers like?

They do the job up to a point, you can overclock a little bit on them, but at around 4Ghz they have to spin faster and faster and with a crappy little fan on them sound like buzzing bees.

More realistic coolers for the motherboards abilities (and that don't cost almost as much as the board:))

Looking at that cooler and it made me wonder if they were saving the name of the taller mountain for a future product, but apparently it already exists.

I'm looking at reviews and also at the suggestions provided by stulid and others. As long as it's quiet, I'll be satisfied. :)

*goes back to viewing TTL reviews*

Re : the Phanteks, - I recall 5UB recommending those.
