    The most visible fans through the window are the top and rear. Put your led fans there.

    There's 4 slots in the rear of that Micro ATX, but not having had one, perhaps it wouldn't work. These are what I was on about:

    SLI 750TI? - There are plenty of MicroATX case that can take an ATX PSU and have enough slots for low-profile PCI cards

    Any high-end must consider the 980TI, 980's are by the wayside imo now in that case.
     
    Sell the 980 and for a small form factor card, there's plenty of 750TI's out there that would fit in a very small factor case. Though I don't know what size you're looking at for your "micro" build. Mine is inside the In-Win H Frame mini as a piece of furniture in the living room to replace a console which I wasn't playing and seems well better spec

    you can get a receiver for about 10 bucks to make a 360 controller work wireless. i LOVE the 360 controller even though i never owned an xbox
     
    -i dont know if the receiver can pick up on 2 controllers...-

    lol. I have been watching a lot more of him lately, just getting my understandings back up. Except for a few laptop fixes at work, I've only built my friends build after mine in 2010.
     
    So the case has arrived, will pick it up this week as I don't know what time things will be delivered, I deliver things to my parents place.
     
    I will probably pick up tomorrow as I want to get a good look at it.
     
    As I said, I'm unsure how the L12 would performer with just the under-fan. The L9i is specifically designed for such a task.. so we will see. It all depends on how much this 2nd hand one sells...
     
    Need to find me one of these now: http://eu.msi.com/product/vga/N750Ti-2GD5TLP.html - for under £130... here we go again on the hunt for a rareish part!

    If you use a fan optimized heat sink passive, you only get 10 - 30% performance. A fan needs ~5 watt, but boosts the cooling up the rated wattage of the cooler. The fan should be as big as the heat sink.
    The Noctua NH-L9i will fork for you. A bigger one like the Thermalright AXP-200 would allow you to use it as semi-passive cooler. But it won't fin in your case I think.

    If you go for it, let me know how it works. I own a custom computer company this would be a pretty cool gaming/HTPC idea.

    IIRC, the Golden Greens are crazy nice units, would love one myself. When you get it, can you tell me what the free gift is that comes with the 100ME? I'm interested to know.

    I've heard they're solid units too. They make for others apparently, I was going to go for Corsair (not for the green writing!) and a few of the EVGA units had cropped up, but there was talk that some were made by different factories, so didn't bother.
     
    The free gift as far as I know is "The Witcher 3" as I've already received a game code for it.

    I've built machines for some time, but the cable management, isn't always the best, I've been looking around at doing a new build for some time, but was going to put it on hold, but decided as I've just brought a house and I sort of have had a good offer for my old PC (which still can run BF4 @ 60FPS!) - what started as a slight upgrade (6950 GPU to a 7970 MYST GPU from a friend), to considering the Nvidia Edition HAF X case, to seeing how much a budget build would cost... has ended up with this:

    Project: "Viper"

    PCPartPicker part list (only for reference as I've purchased a few things elsewhere and not updated that - also some things aren't available on there to select)

    Extra plans (guess they can't be called mods)...
     
    Replacement CPU Cooler Fans (2x): Noctua NF-A14 FLX 68.0 CFM 140mm (for use in Linus' "Ghetto" mod) - to be in a PULL config in the top of the case.
    Replacement FRONT Case Fans (3x): Alpenföhn Wing 120mm Boost 2 Plus PWM (Green)
    Replacement REAR Case Fan: Alpenföhn Wing 140mm Boost 2 Plus PWM (Green)
    Aesthetics: Various BitFenix Alchemy cables, 3x E22 14 slot transparent cable combs, possible storage shields (not wrapped), front 3.5" bays will be removed as they will be unused and to allow for better cooling from the 3 Alpenföhn's (1 or 2 going to a friend for his black/white H440 build to come later in the year)
     
    I really like the Dodge Viper logo (http://www.floormatexpress.com/images/822073P.jpg), but doubt I'll add it on the case somewhere  :wacko:
