    Got the mobo. I'll wait to see if the CPU goes down in price over the next few months. Should be getting the pelxi soon.

    Anyone have suggestions on a CPU cooler? I can't decide if I want to go with one of those all-in-one CPU WC systems or a good air cooled heatsink.

    IF it has an LED, I need to be able to make it Orange. Wanna keep with the color selection.

    Suggestions?

    Yeah, you could buy some more fans
    I like big boxes with loads of fans

    How 'bout a case MADE OF FANS...?
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    Still waiting for some suggestions on the CPU cooler.

    Hopefully I'll have a design update in the next few days.

    What if I did a frame of angled aluminum? Would that make it easier to join the plexi together? Or is doing it with screws enough?

    Bump for material suggestions.

    Angled Aluminum?
    Aluminum Square Bar? (solid)
    Aluminum Square Tube? (hollow)
