Thought about it, but I never use disks, just have no need for them.

Exactly!

 

Front 140mm fans?

 

Are they worth it? Compared to 2 x 120mm will it make a noticeable difference?

Usually 140mm fans come with lower RPM and sometimes slightly higher or if not, the same airflow so it is quieter

Also, take advantage of the fan mounts provided!

NEED X58 BOARD WITH SATA3 ASAP
