First off; slight mod to the PSU; since the stock fan was very loud I replaced it with a 140mm Yate Loon
There were some clearance issues with the GFX cards and the rear X-Flow Radiator
So the RAD is being replaced with a standard (non X-Flow) radiator
The two side by side

After testing the PWM fan controller with the Blackfire fans I realized that at low speeds the fans were "growling." By means of trial & error I discovered that if I replace the 0.1uF timing capacitor with a 100pF capacitor (raising the PWM frequency from 30Hz to 30KHz) the symptoms are...
Mounted and sleeved the fans for the front RAD
Installed some of the tubing
Re-installed the drive bays; decided to go with frosted sides on the drive bays
