cpu build questions
Shane:
Might be over kill lol.
On my system I have 1 120mm (intake) in front blowing over my raid 1 (mirrored) drives. 1 120mm in the back (exhaust) and 1 120 mm at the top (exhaust) power supply is on the bottom of this case, which is a good spot for it, heat rises.
This is the current case I use for all the machines I buld for my customers and is the current case I use as well.

Looks nice. I already bought a cooler master elite 430, not the best but I got it on sale. Has 120mm fans, top(X2), front(1), Side (1) Bottom (1) and back (1).

I am about to head out the door, but I remember you asking me about SSD drives. I havent got one yet because of price. But looks like I might be getting one in the next year if this keeps up :-)

I hope you take mirroring as an option. I dont run a system without my stuff mirrored. Even though I do backups. When a drive dies everything on that drive goes with it. With mirrored I can keep on going with no down time while I get the drive replaced.
And if you have TB's of data doing a nightly backup isnt going to be the best thing as it would take so long and you would need backup drives big enough. What ever is most important to you make sure to keep backed up and on a mirror raid drive setup if you can.
These are my drives. Setup in a raid 1.

RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER)
1.2 million hours at 100% duty cycle
NoTouch ramp load technology
24x7 reliability
5 year Warranty
And for not being SSD it is one of the fastest drives I have found in the 7200 RPM range.
