Awesome !!
Your lancool is an awesome choice ........better than the rest.

Your rig is pretty old upgraded like a bsd powered spacecraft.....pure reliability with no performance compromises.
Very decent and no fancy stuff.

I still need to sort out my cable management and other cosmetic modding( making holes, buying a 24 pin power cable extender etc..----this is pretty expensive) ........over six months ....whenever i get the time.

Thanks-

It's older tech, but fast enough...extremely reliable for sure-

I see you're looking to upgrade your fans...checkout Yate Loon: very high quality & cheap...only use the genuine Yates' tho, there's a lot of Yate Loon knock-off/counterfeits on the 'net-

EDIT: Very few retailers actually get their Yate Loon Fans directly from Yate Loon in Asia, there are some manufacturers that 'appear' to be licensed by Yate Loon to make and distribute fans with the Yate Loon name, but they are not to the same specifications and high quality as the fans manufactured and shipped 'directly' by Yate Loon-
So...'knock-off/counterfeits would most likely not be accurate'-


Genuine Yate Loons -> http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/yateloonfans.html

Newegg has a reasonably priced 24-pin extension too -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812162006
