That should be plenty what kind of styling do you like? conserved obnoxious or in between? I know you said things you don't need are leds but most come with them.

The silverstone RV03 Is a great air cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163180 its the in between to obnoxious styling, $147 + $27 shipping.

hhmmm... well i like the cooler master haf x look but the switch 810 is better for cooling... id say not too conservative but not too obnoxious.

Well the rosewill Thor V2 is a good case and comes in black and white

which one of these would you recommend if your only concern was airflow.

nzxt switch 810

3x 140mm top fans
2x 140mm front fans
1x 140mm bottom fan
1x 140mm back fan
2x 140mm interior fans

or

rosewill thor v2

1x 230mm top fan
1x 230mm front fan
1x 230mm side fan
1x 140mm back fan
1x 140mm bottom fan

nvm about my last post. ive decided id rather have the switch than the thor.

 

[mannyman]

Yeah the switch is nicer, It slipped my mind or something.

 

[razrgamr]

thanx for the help man. also would you rather have the cyborg mmo 7 or the razer naga mouse for WoW and ToR
