Hey I ordered this case last night from Antec, had to spend like $15 more then Newegg but Newegg was out of stock and I am impatient :)

Anyway, it comes standard with 2 120mm Fans(front / back) do think it will be ok for cooling, with just those 2 fans?

I have a Dremel if I really have to I could drill a hole in the acrylic window and place another fan there blowing straight in on the CPU.

I am planning on putting an Abit IS7 MB, with a P4 2.6C stock HS/Fan in there and maybe overclocking to 2.8-3.0ghz

One intake fan and one exhaust fan is the most efficient method of case cooling.

Hey zpyrd do you think it would be worthwhile to get rounded cables for my drives or just make sure all the ribbons are routed to the back of the case and out of they way/out of sight.

Since it has a window in the case im tempted to get rounded cables just for the aesthetics....

I like the rounded cables. I recommend getting the shielded rounded cables. The quality cables are bundled in a plastic covered metal braid.
Rounded cables are easier to tuck away because of their flexablity.

Cooler Master rounded cables are shielded right?

The cable listed below says for use with ata 133/100/66 and udma 133/100/66 but I could use it with my CD Rom or DVDRom right? If im not mistaken most CD/DVD drives are still only ata33.....
