Also, the under-mobo fan is 80x15mm, and helps a lot - it's consistently the warmest spot in my case, but dropped 5*C with the fan.
Do you have the under-mobo fan setup as intake or exhaust?

I'd skip the HDD cooler. The large 120mm fan should be plenty for any HDD less than a 15k SCSI disc.I just got this case the other day...i'm somewhat new to installing hardware..and im having trouble mounting my hard drive with the fan in the slots.... any ideas on how to get the hard drive in WITH the HDD fan cooler? the bracket doesnt seem to allow me to have both in there at the same time.
im using the Vantec 3.5" Aluminum Hard Drive Cooler (link below)

Exhaust, so it pulls air from all over inside the case across the bottom of the mobo. I think it'd be more noisy as an intake.Do you have the under-mobo fan setup as intake or exhaust?
I want to see real pictures of it, b/c all of the ones from CM look like terrible hack jobs.It seems that CM has a side panel case for it . I want it !!!!!!!!!!

Nice case... can't wait to get mine
Yeah, I was wondering about the fan setup too....... I'll be building on thursday and I was thinking the stock front and side panel intakes, plus the one on the floor as an intake, then leaving the upper side panel slot right above the processor blank and putting exhausts on the back and the two top slots..... any other suggestions? Main thing I'm worried about is the 8800 GT getting enough cool air in this position, may do a PCI slot fan. Any one else have an opinion?

Question: How many 120mm fans does the case come with? 3?
I wish i could have better cable management in mine. I tried for hours, but the 120mm fan cables aren't long enough to hide so they stick out. I guess its more than good enough for airflow though, just not too pretty

hey fellow 690 owners.
Is your HDD LED a very small red light under the blue power LED. It is very hard to notice, and I thought it wasn't working at first.
At a closer look, I see a very small red LED that blinks.

Is your girlfriend in the continental US? If so where did she get the side panel?
