My build isn't yet finished, but I can tell you that I will have 10 fans in my Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case.
Front to back:
2 120mm intakes in 3 5.25" bays
1 100mm intake cooling the HDD cages.
1 120mm intake on the bottom
2 120mm exhausts on top
1 120mm fan on the OCZ Vendetta 2

I would have to agree with prodigee and zero. I personally own a Cosmos case, and I think it's a phenomal and high quality case. I was also considering a Stacker 830, which I know provides excellent cooling, so that too would be a good choice. I've owned two Thermaltake cases and, compared to...
It's the "Bleeding Edge" tax. As an enthusiast, you knew the price would be between $500 and $600. That, or $50 to $70 is insignificant to the $500 you were already prepared to pay. Newegg knew this and are taking advantage of it...because once you know, you Newegg!
Yea. All this price gauging has caused me to rethink my build. I'm expected to have all my parts in by Friday, but if I can't find a Visiontek 4870x2 in time, and at a good price, I'm just going to go for a regular 4870. I suppose I don't need a x2 at 1650x1080 anyways.:D
Normally, if I...
It may be listed as "4870 X2", like at provantage. It would be safest to assume that it will fall under the general HD 4000 category, and just check out the number of cards in it. Once it changes - it's at 24 right now - you'll know they posted it. Once you know, you newegg. ZING!
$499?!?! Perfect. I'll be passing on Sapphire, though. Shitty warranty and equally shitty looking card. I abhor how they insist on putting ugly 3D rendered characters on their cards. I just want the card without outlandish and unnecessary artwork on it. Just...the card. Argh!
