There are 2 slots at the top ceiling of HAFX. Only 1 fan is installed by default while there is space for the other one. I think that is a good call, I should have done the same.

If you have the Hafx case and air cooler for cpu, you can have them add a second 200mm fan to the top. Its about $30 and is the Coolermaster MegaFlow 200 Silent non-led fan. If you order with the 240mm cooler then the fan doesn't apply.

I was reading posts to check out ideas other have had and I am glad I clicked on this one. I am also considering the Dreadnought with air cooling and your addition of the extra case fan is something I will be requesting on my upcoming build.
Thanks and best of luck with your new PC. |

I'm curious about the rationale behind your choice of the 4 GB version of the GTX 670. Apparently in most cases it makes no difference. However, I have heard that extra VRAM helps for games like modded Skyrim and also some flight simulators. I was thinking of getting it for the latter reason. Thanks. |

Hi BandGap,
There are a couple of reasons I chose the 4GB cards. I do play Skyrim and I have it heavily modded. The extra VRAM will help. Also I was a bit dissapointed when NVIDIA came out with the GTX 680/670 and they only had 2GB VRAM. As AMDs top 2 cards the HD 7970 and HD 7950 had 3GB. I thought that was a mistake on NVIDIAs part. I also wanted to have some future proof build in. One last thing, I currently have a Dell UltraSharp U2410 monitor (1920 x 1200 resolution) and I hope to upgrade to the 27" Dell UltraSharp in the near future. I hope that answers your questions. |

This is my shipping status so far. I was given the ETA of the 29th on Jun 25th. I received an automated call from FedEx earlier today saying I have a scheduled delievery for tomorrow the 29th. As you can see my computer arrived in OH today at 6PM. It will have to be shipped out this evening in order to it be delivered tomorrow. I am keeping my fingers crossed as it would be nice to have it for the weekend.

Computer delivered at 9:10 AM EDT. I will post a review and pics. The box is pretty well beat up even has a couple of holes in it on on side. Lets hope the internal packaging did its job. |
