Hi! Building a new system and this case looks pretty sweet thus far. Just wondering what some of your thoughts were on it, particularly regarding cooling (and what products are good with it), and noise.

Here is what will likely be my system. Won't be OC'ing it yet but I probably will in the future:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo "Conroe" E6600
Motherboard: ASUS P5W DH DELUXE
Memory: OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 2GB (2x1024MB) Platinum Revision 2 XTC Dual Channel Kit
Video: MSI GeForce 7900GT 256MB
Audio: Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music
Hard Drive 1: Western Digital Caviar 320GB SATAII (WD3200KS) 7200RPM 16MB Buffer (OEM)
Hard Drive 2: Transfer existing WD 150 GB
Power Supply: OCZ GameXStream 700 Watt Power Supply, Dual GPU, SLI compable
DVD/CD writer: LG GSA-H10L 16X/16X DVD-RW BLACK INTERNAL
CPU fan/cooling: --undecided

Thanks :)

Can you spring for a P180? Much better looking and a lot quieter and cooler.
