Does lots of views and no replies mean it's ok but boring, or is something wrong?

No, we're just super busy with work.

IN any case, you're planning too early. A lot of our hardware recommendations can change in as little as a week. So planning this far in advance does not help you that much. So please bump up this thread when you're 1-2 weeks away from buying the parts.

With that said, unless Germany is pretty hot during the summer and/or your home is pretty hot, you really don't need that 3rd party HSF. Also, what case are you getting/using?
