Does anyone else have this mint case. Got mine the other day after waiting 6 weeks and all set up after a lot of hassle getting the water to filter into everthing. My query is the noise level from the three front fans is not silent, can any one recommend a good fan controller for this. The three fans are connected to the 4 pin molex via an adaptor as the fans have only 2 pin plugs!!....

Cheers

Also any recommendations on a complete silent pump would be cool

For a fan controller i'd go for the Zalman ZM-MFC1 or a Sunbeam Rheobus. We need some more info on your WC setup to give a good recommendation on a quiet pump. Internal or external to case? How many blocks are you pushing thru? Rad setup? What's your budget?
With no other data I'll throw out the Laing DDC-1 + Petra's Tech DDCT-01 top. Be sure to get some of Petra's Gel Stuff to put under the pump to absorb vibration.

Setup is as follows..

Pump - Standard one that come with kandalf LCS
Radiator - Triple one attached to front of LCS
Normal Thermaltake block
Thermaltake TMG ATI water block/fan
Two water blocks for hard drives

All I want is a silent pump to sit weither on the bottom of my case tucked away or even better would be in the 5 1/4" drive bays.

Does that fan controller connect to 2 pin plugs?

Reviews on the Zalman ZM-MFC1 and the Sunbeam Rheobus have all the info you need on the controllers.

You're going to have a hard time fitting a pump into a 5.25" bay unless there is enough space to give up two bays. One that might work is the Laing DDC-1 without the modded top. Another option for a quiet pump is the Laing D5. The cool thing about the D5 that I linked is that it has a potentiometer built into it and you can manually adjust the speed of the pump. The lower settings will be very quiet - just monitor your temps until you're comfortable they are in a safe range.

Can anyone give me some accurate info about this case and its performance? I heard so many diffrent opininons that i dont know waht to stick with.

At custom PC they say that thermaltake big water 760i is total crap compared to other LCS, and kandalf uses the same type of Pump (P500), as well as many users have said the system has to be runned while the case is "laying down" since the pump aint powerfull enought to push the liquid up to the radiators (thats sounds like a really bad pump for any nice overcloking, due to the flow,pressure).

Then i saw a video review in youtube in 3dgamerman or so showing some of the best idle/load temperatures even compared to swiftech h20-220/120.

So, anyone actually has a q6600 and some hard ass VGAs cooled by this case and works well?
