Try to look on the BitFenix Specter Pro 230mm. It has allot of mounting holes, maybe, just maybe . http://files.bitfenix.com/productguides/Spectre%20Pro%20230mm%20Diagram.jpg

Cougar has some red/blue/green fans (Cougar Dual-X), 120 and 140mm. Check if they are available in your country. They come with rubber mounts too.

Ok so 53 cm will be, thanks and sorry for the double post, got timed out.

How about this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127667 (don't own it just researched a little bit, don't hit me :D ). With a case with good ventilation and some little oc it will be a beast.... Please quote and give some feedback about this card Thanks!

Hello everyone, I recently bought a 500r and dumped the old microATX mobo and E5200 dual core in it (will get a Haswell 4670k upgrade soon i hope :D ). So i know the h100i fits 100% on top of the case (under the mesh cover) and inside the case mount some 120mm/140mm - maybe one 140 on the right and one 120 on the left mount to leave room for pump/hose - push configuration) http://imgur.com/uqSKeY0 (120 140 bot red - hoses green top) i hope i didn't break any rules* top case mesh ------------------------ h100i |<========> metal mount - |-- ---------- ------ maybe one 120 and one 140 | \120/ \140/ | | hose Question is: Do i have room for a push pull? top case mesh --------------------- 140s \140/ \140/ metal mount --- ---------- ------ h100i |<========> 2 x 120 | \120/ \120/ __|_____________ mobo | | | | | hose | | | Thank you very much !!!

Can i get them french maid ones with sexy model ? giggidy

NZXT Sentry Mesh and Mix. There are some unboxings on youtube as well :D .

Can't you just wait for a little bit :D, use your laptop a little longer until the mobo is available ?

I am in the same position as you. I have a very old dual core intel cpu and i want to upgrade. Don't know what to buy :D : a cheaper combo 3570k with mobo or go for the 10% performance of the Haswell 4670k (only for games)...

Silver Arrow Extreme for your color theme, just pure black Be Quiet Dark Rock 2, or the Phanteks orange/red

I think you can plug the 3pin fans too. You will control the voltage/speed via the fan controller, maybe you will not be able to monitor the rmp's if the fan ctrl it's more simple (not the led ones - i like the nzxt sentry ones - mesh and mix. There are some other nice fans: like Cougar ones and Deepcool, can chose a little bit by color :) .

Ah sorry to hear that 'bout the cases, that sucks :). The best budge case would have been the 690 cooler master. Good luck with your build !

Exactly, planning to do the same thing (buy a new rig) now i have a VERY old dual core E5200. No reason at all to go extra 90-150 bucks for i7 just for gaming. i5 is the best answer for gaming: (3570k) or the new Haswell 4670k (better) or even AMD 8350. Why not put the 100$ bucks on your gpu and it will be MUCH better. And it's future proof too if gaming will be the only purpose.

For air cooling: Noctua nh-d14 (very quiet, ugly colors :)) , Phanteks ph-tc14pe (loudish, a lot of colors to chose from) or Thermalright Silver Arrow Extreme/SB-E (good, loud -the extreme version). I will get an Silver Arrow Extreme (if you will seriously overclock the Silver Arrow will be loud - 2500 rmp fans - but otherwise will be quiet). Careful with the size of the rams - you need low profile ones and watch for height of the cooler heatsink - max 165mm with the Extreme :mellow: If you want water just go for H100i (better and thicker pipes than H110). Prices are about the same for all, maybe 10 - 30 bucks a little more for the H100i (~130$ for all). I prefer air because it's just air, nothing can go wrong, but with water... Good luck !

Hey there! I suggest looking for other cases, same money, more room, better cooling, cases like Corsair 500r, Enermax Fulmo Advanced, Cooler Master cm 690 ii. Just throw the names in youtube and watch some unboxing's. That's what i did and went for Corsair 500r (better quality). Same with any aftermarket coolers, this way you can see whatever they came with, thermal paste and other accessories. I think you should invest a little bit more to get a future proof build. The 3570k it's not more expsiv... and will last even more, maybe even wait for Haswell versions. Good luck !
