4 1 I dont like cases that have the slots going all the way down the front of the case especially if fans are occupying those areas, Example the Antec 900/1200, it just looks taky.

Actually, you can get 5 3.5 drives in 3 5.25 bays.

they're cheap things you buy to do it, and they do work in regular bays. coolermaster sells quite a few variants last i checked.

oh and nice on the 5 drive model, but 4 is pretty packed - without the 120mm fan heat would worry me.

@ The Don but we're talking custom built case nothing off the shelf so wouldn't you build in room for a res or two and a couple of 3x120 rads in the bottom of the case i know i would if i were going to do it

@ Mussels I know i have an Lian Li EX-33N cage in my RV02 which has an 120mm fan on the front and about 1/2" gap between drives if i use all three bays

Meh, it has an 80mm on it. Plenty for 5 hard drives in a home server setting.

Turned out the extra 2 sticks I tried out didn't work with my old memory so they'll just be sitting around for a week or two with the E8400 until I can buy Mlee's LP Jr. Oh and someone kick me in the butt for buying a Dark Knight. It's fan mounting system is rediculous

I've got everything running alright now so it's time to reinstall Windows.

Also some breaking news - C2Q's run quite warm

51C at idle doesn't make a happy Joe

ah, missed that part. I read it but it just didn't hit me

Nexus, if you are reverting back to air you can always get a Noctua, the big one always forget the name, a Megahalems, or perhaps another used H50 that is not lapped, they go for cheap. I sold mine a while back for $40 shipped!

I agree with those recommendations, if you have decided not to go with another H50, there are some fantastic air coolers out on the market. I'm using a Megahalems on my 920 and it's an amazing heatsink,so im sure it would cool that X6 very well. Noctua's NH-D14 is also fantastic from what i hear.(pretty much anything from Noctua is).
