Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I did look, seems like allot of opinions. I have a brand new Lian Li 1200 Plus II case. With 1 Lian Li OEM fan, 2 Medium Speed Scythe "Minebea NMB Silent IC Series" fans, and 2 Silenx fans. Subjectively Silenx fans seem to be much quieter a move more air. Like I said – pure subjective...
SilenX 120x120x25mm - 14dBA - 72CFM

I think these are the best fans available. I have 2 installed now and will be converting the rest soon.
Yes, I had to cut two holes. I did not use a Dremel, used 4.5 hole saw instead. The front intake is: http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/008/sckb1000_detail.html
I currently have the following 3/8 loop:
pump>rad>CPU>mofset>northbridge >southbridge
I will be adding 8800 to the loop and trying to decide if I can run it in parallel as:
pump>rad>CPU>mofset>northbridge>southbridge>res
...............>8800>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Or should I just...
Here is my first try:
CASE LIANLI|PC-V1200BPLUS II
PSU ENERMAX|EGA1000EWL-DXX 1000W
ASUS Comando MB
EVGA GeForce 8800GTX Air for now
Core 2 Extreme QX6700
Corsair XMS 9136 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2
NEC Black 1.44MB 3.5"
Western Digital Caviar RE WD2500YS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s...
Almost done.... Loop is finished, just need to rid a tiny leak.
Final parts list:

Hi, No not too late. The project was stalled due to parts availability. Since, Asuss Striker is on a perpetual back order.
I have to water cool the mofsets since the Striker will be mounted in BTX fasion and Asus heat pipes tend to ever heat when mounted inverted.
I was going to mount one in the lower drive bay and one in front of the motherboard.
As best laid out plans go Just got the case, now Im thinking it will may not work.
What do you guys think of these alternatives? Not too sure about aluminum radiators ...
Well they look kinda similar, LOL, just kidding.
It was a safe bet that Asus would be using the same parts bin across their models.
It took a while, but I found a thread in the Asus forum of someone using them...
