Ok After A LOT of reading i have finally picked out everything for my computer except i cant draw a conclusion on what case will stay at the coolest temperature. i have in mind the $172 Xaser III on newegg b/c it comes with 7 fans but i have heard people say that the temperature monitor for the procesor wont fit under the 3.0c. Also i have heard mixed reviews on how well it kools and last but not least everyone says it is the worse case to deal with b/c of 1million wires, which i would be willing to work with if it was gonna keep my case cool. other options: I am considering lian li case (will stay lower temp? and also the Aspire Turbo case but its only available with the 500W PSU which ive heard a lot of bad things about. And one more thing as far as the PSU i understand i need a certain type of cables for certain hardware in my case (3.3v/12v) and id like to know if with this setup the Vantec power supply i have chosen is the right choice. The main two reasons i chose it is cause i heard its stable and b/c it has extra long wires which are needed for the full atx thermaltake xaser III case i was considering. I was gonna get the thermaltake 480w PSU but i have heard the wires for the second SATA HD dont reach (how stupid of thermaltake to make a PSU that cant be used in its own case LoL)
