Go with PWM fans if its a option for your case, they actually don't have the exact same specs as their counterparts but its only by a unit or two either way, very marginal. Sure you can get 3 pin fans that work amazingly but PWM are more throw in and forget and will give you the ultimate silence solution for air as your motherboard will actually turn them off when their bit needed or at the very least and ridiculously low speeds. They will also speed up without further user input unlike most 3 pin fan controllers, even then 3 pin can be limited to the number of profiles should the controller support it. So unless your OCD like me and feel the need to constantly fiddle with your fans just get PWM, cougar, be quiet and noctua offer excellent solutions.

I remember when I did my first dust cleaning on my first computer with a dedicated graphics card. I thought to myself "what's this weird residue underneath the heat sink? *wipes away* That should be much better". Took a few minutes to realize the errors of my decision.

I tried using google today to do a few quick conversions of MB to GB. In the past its always been 1GB = 1024MB but now its showing 1GB = 1000MB. Even though storage capacities use the later measurement, i'm a little shocked to see it as the standard measurement that cannot be changed. Even top results use it as an answer, and 1024 comes after those. Have a I missed the memo and 1024 is no longer the standard outside of marketing?

The entire afternoon in my office everyone from the boss to the trainee are all playing this LOL.

This just happened today, but first some background.
 
I work at a large corporate grocery store while attending university for network administration. Our store has multiple lines, the commercial internet line completely hidden from public, a line for the intranet where all our computers and handheld devices send/receive orders and information, then finally a line for our public for staff/customers WiFi.
 
I'm working on paperwork in the back before the store opens (I start at 4 in the morning) and have a podcast playing locally stored locally on my phone. A few of my coworkers begin having connection issues 2 hours into my shift while they're doing inventory. They come into my office wondering what I'm doing, and begin questioning what my phone is doing. I explain I'm listening to a pod cast thinking nothing of it, then they claim I must be streaming and disrupting the network and explain to me like an ISP would your grandparents on how it's going affect your network before I can even figure out I need to explain it's a local file. I stop them (these people know just as much as your average grandparents) and tell them these explanations are very unnecessary, emphasizing I'm currently in school for network administration only to be ignored and told to turn it off anyway because even though you're actually studying in this field, in your mid 20's, we have a full head of grey hair so you're point is invalid. So I lie and say I turned off my "streamed podcast". A few minutes later I get a page from said coworkers being all smug saying the network is working again, to which I reply I never stopped the stream in the first place. A few minutes later it goes down again and they storm back into my office, yelling at me how I need to listen to them and I was disrupting everyone's workflow, single handedly bringing down our network with my iphone. At this point I tell them they're being highly inappropriate and even if I was streaming, they're on completely different networks. Of course they storm off again, but at this point the store is open and I turn off my podcast and turn off my wifi to help conserve power. Half an hour later another coworker storms into my office (apparently it spread word that this was my fault) shoves his handheld in my face with a network error, telling me I need to stop my streaming and that I'm causing everyone issues. Remember, I'm not even using my phone at this point nor was my wifi even on. This continues on for another 2 hours.
 
For fun though, the podcast I was listening to was 250 megabytes, and our public wifi is good enough for multiple users to watch 1080p Netflix similtaneously. Even though it's likely much higher, lets say I can download 1 MB/s, streaming ti would have had it loaded on my phone in less than 5 minutes, but it's a stream so require far less than that to buffer the audio. Now if I somehow did log onto the commercial line and caused congestion with lets say 250KB/s of traffic, you've got a lot more problems going on.
 
Oh and that's not to mention the handhelds connect our intranet with a dedicated connection.
 
P.S. If youre concerned, my shop steward has already been informed and taken names.

It should be plug 'n play. You just have to check the ´line-in´ option in the Windows mixer, and the you just set the volume to your liking.
You should be able to connect the 3DS with a male TRS to male RCA cable:

I remember when I did my first dust cleaning on my first computer with a dedicated graphics card. I thought to myself "what's this weird residue underneath the heat sink? *wipes away* That should be much better". Took a few minutes to realize the errors of my decision.

Well my replacement just arrived! Looks like I got a bit of an upgrade too (minus the SLI everything was bought for it's silence). RMA was super painless, my only complaint was UPS. For  the 12 seconds it took me to get to the door, the driver was already in his truck leaving a 250 dollar piece of equipment as a prop for my screen door...
 
Oh well details!
 
Thank you everyone for helped me along ensure a proper diagnosis!

After 5 days of on and of gaming, school work, and Netflix I have had yet to experience any issues using a my buddies old HX1000.
Corsair marked my RMA as recieved yesterday, then to processing. Hopefully I get my replacement soon!

Pretty sure it's the PSU now... Keeping PC off until further notice.

Also, apparently I'm going senile, just found my receipt and I bought all my hardware except for my drives and sound card in 2011! I've also discovered that my HX1000 has a 5 year warranty.
