So I saw this case looks pretty nice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119103 So I would have to add alota 120mm fans. I was wondering isn't too much airflow bad? I would guess Im going to turn the 4 120mm on the side on low, and maybe the top 1 on high and back 1 on high and front 1 on high... But is that excessive and good for the air flow? Thoughts are appreciated, also is the side see threw? I want to know If I get LED fans.

Also would that work with this heatsink ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835109125

Too much airflow is never bad, except if you are worried about noise. Having fitted 8 fans inside that case will definitely ramp up noise levels alot. If noise isn't a matter for you, no problems then. The side doesn't have a window, so no see through unless you mod. The Stacker 830 works with the Thermalright Ultra 120 well. Infact, it works with ANY cooler well. That thing is huge.

Id say the side has a metal mesh like on the front but when the fans are running I doubt youll be able to see inside. I may be wrong though.

That will be too noisy for you I bet.

My rig actually causes me to have a buildup of mucus in my right ear whenever I hear sustained and directional noise. I went to the ENT and they said I had perfect hearing, so it's sort of like an annoying adaptation that my body has created.

From now on I will never build a system without noise in mind.

I would recommend checking out SilentPCReview for tips on quieting your PC.

As for the case, I wouldn't go for it.

The Antec P180 has a much nicer build quality, and is cheaper.

Noise isn't a problem for me, my rig is pretty loud, but i got headphones and well... I don't have the best hearing, and the antec case is just too plain for my taste. so I hope to get that case, with 4 120 mm fans on the side, I'll use these stylisdh fans, I want them cause they look fancy and decent airflow, and I need the Led's X-D. My silver stone one is the best... but it is kinda plain. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835129246 so 5 of those? rofl thats expensive. 4 side, 1 top... Ill use this one for intake and extake http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999344 so thats 2 extra fans... totalling 6 fans, I have 1 extra at my house for the thermalright ultra extreme 120.
