*And the owl-logo, forgot about that. Couldn't use the fancy badge that came with the cpu-cooler if all the fans weren't noctua, I thought.

EDit: And detale, dunno about the V8, mang. I'd rather go with a black true or a megahalems if I were building something now. But then again, maybe it doesn't matter with an i3.

Oh I love the megahalems but I think it's too bif for the apple case, not to mention it's prob heavy as fcuk.

Aw crap! I just read the v8 isn't 1156 compatible damnit! Well looks like back to return at MC and order a megashadow (yes because it's black

)

EDIT: I have to check my box some do come with the mounting brackets.

EDIT 2: OK well Mine comes with the correct brackets-panic averted

If it's purely for looks, I like the true black better than a megashadow, though.

It's sleeker, like. See?

Where's this trick sidepanel we've heard so much about?

Great timing. I just sent him an Email asking the same exact thing. He said about 2 weeks and its 2 weeks on Thursday so soon I imagine. I did just order a mobo and will be taking a trip back to microcenter to get one of their i3 cpu's for $99 tomorrow

I decided on the EVGA 111-CD-E630-TR
with some Gksill ripjaw ram.

I am going to air cool this one but I had to get some PrimoFlex 3/4" Tubing because they have it on clearance for .36 a foot!! so I'm taking all 17' of it.
