If this was released, 3rd party rubber corners would exist 100%.

They should, also i like the rings from the SP120 tho... and it's still perform well. I know it's not the same as the Noctua fans but it runs cool :)

Yeah, i know that Noctua is a really good for someone who don't like loud noises and someone who want his/her rig to be quiet. But if you don't care about aesthetics go with the Noctua :D

I want a pc that will be $4000, give or take a few dollars, that will be perfect for:

1: Playing extremely demanding games

2: Using photoshop, after effects, premiere or Sony Vegas

3:A little bit of Java Programming.

I will be buying the parts from Amazon and shipping them to me by borderlinx, as I live in the Middle East

 

You definitely don't need to spend that much on a gaming/editing machine. My signature (below) is a gaming editing PC and I'm only invested $1500 USD. You can spend about half your original budget and still have an amazing PC.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Ps9e I don't recommend buying all parts from Amazon because they don't have everything cheaper than anybody else, unless you get special discounts from there than go ahead

My favorites, not sure which is best though
