    Will: The HAF X is derived from the full-tower 932, not the midi-tower 922.

    My bad Sam did'nt see the Full tower specs it still looks good with the black interior...I like ,they need to make a Mid tower with a side panel like that .I got my eyes on that Gladiator 600 might just stick the AMD setup in that and build backup the Biostar Tpower I45 and stick it in 690II later.I still have the new board in the box back from Biostar never set it up yet. I gotta get my hands on a E8600 first.lol for the low,low Will and Deal

    The big window is nice, but is definitely a case of aesthetic over cooling, as two of the 230mm fans are shrunk to 200mm, the side one is no longer included with the case, and there is no option to replace the side fan with four 120mm fans as a result.
    In my opinion, the actual case itself doesn't look as good, but that's of course subjective.

    Strongly considering a Coolit Eco myself. My winter temps are just cherry. But because we don't normally run AC in the summer, everything gets a bit toasty...

    LOL Shaff! If it were not for the coolit, I may have bought the H50...

    This coolit will be for my 965. When I buy the 1090t(or better), I will be purchasing a true water cooler. But as it stands now, programming needs to mature more to be able to justify the purchase of a 6 core or more ;)
    Looks like it was packaged quite well. Only 3 radiator fins were SLIGHTLY damaged. Not enough to justify return. It would only effect temperatures by an infinitesimal amount ;) If that...

    Will, I have that exact Fan. But there may be a problem I only slightly acknowledged before I purchased the Eco. My exhaust area utilizes a 140mm fan. How do you guys think I should proceed? Adapters???

    Almost all 140mm fan slots also have mounting holes for 120mm fans. In fact, many 120mm mounts also have holes for 92 and sometimes also 80mm fans.

    Good to know. I've never removed the 140. I just found on CM's site though, that you're correct. It does support a 120mm xD Looks like I got concerned for nothing. I do that at times LOL!

    What Sammy said. :)

    I've looked at that Coolit by ECO and I'm jealous so many of you have decided to buy it... LIKE I said in an earlier post.. I can't "afford" to buy computer stuff right now... Well NOT something I don't desperately need!! :)

    Yep I coulda told you that Omega. I just did an Eco install for my friend who gave me the AMD Dragon side panel. He has a standard style HAF and the mounting holes for the 120 are right there. I might mention you want the hoses facing down or up, not to the side. I've found that the case door can't close then XD

    Now I just feel silly LOL! Had I turned my case around, a simple 10second gander, I'd have seen it. Very crowded desk...

    Haha same here :p I hook my headphones up through my rear sound ports(sound card) though so I am actually pretty familiar with the back of my PC. Same with all of my USB connections, ethernet, and video ports. I have everything down to the little PCI slot clips memorized. I do so much hooking and un-hooking of stuff it just started happening XD
