Have you picked up an aftermarket CPU cooler yet? If not, you should get one -- especially since you plan on overclocking your rig.

Yeah -- the Cooler Master RC-690. It (along with the RC-590) can support around 6-7 120mm case fans. If you need additional case fans, purchase some Yate Loons from either Jab-tech or Petra's Tech Shop.

Many people here hate the Antec 900 because it has no space for cable management.

You can also buy the Antec P182 for around the same price (including shipping) as the 900. The P182 offers better noise reduction and cable management capability as well.

You could also consider the P5Q-E. It's $50 less than the deluxe, and there are only a few differences.

It has two fewer INTERNAL usb connections.
8-phase power vs. 16-phase (not sure how this will affect an o/c, but probably negligible)
Express Gate runs on the HD (so you have to install it) rather than on a built-in SSD.

Just a thought...
