for some bays
3 - Hard Driver Cooler = Cooler Master Cooldrive Lite - BLACK for Raptor
4 - thermaltake hardcano 13 (fan contoller and card reader)
5 - Vantec EZ-Sata 5.25 Drive Bay

Case - new Lian Li Pc-A10 in black with window mod....

Only real concerns are the inverted MB with the heat pipes...many say no go but
have heard the striker has an internal wick so allow the pipes to cool in any plane...
Also, I don't think my selected vga block will fit the GTS and I think the micro kit
will fit in the case but can anyone confirm this ? Also was going to go for a creative card
but value movie watching and DTS support with non Creative speakers over EAX so
have decided to give the Azuntech a chance. I have an onkyo amp and paradigm speakers 3.1 so am looking forward to this...

Using this sytem primarily for business and video editing. Don't get to too many games
but when I do, want to be able to play them properly

thanks

The A10 isn't inverted. Just the V series.
