Fair enough. If I was buying one I'd have to have usb3 - otherwise it would keep me awake at night - and thats no a joke.
Nice.That explains why you can fit all those fans in the front.
It's way too big for my system. I can't complain since I didn't have to buy a case way back then.

Epic comment there. I'm just going to wait until I can build a new system for myself. I'm still using a 775 system.
Just had a look at the demo video they did for those AP121 fans, holy cow those things are AWESOME in comparison to any other conventional fan blade configuration.
You're just full of the good info today man, thanks.
Thinking about these fans some more. It seems as if they would be better suited to be placed in areas where they would have a "direct path" to HSF fans or exhaust fans. It seems their effectiveness would be pretty shot having them dump air right into the hard drive cages as in the R3 design.
I'm thinking 2 x high cfm front intakes and one of these as a bottom intake would be sweet, it could shift a solid column of air straight up to the GPU's / CPU.
Just thinking out loud now.....
Food for thought.
Actually they're great for radiators too since they have great air pressure. It's better to have higher pressure than just air in surrounding. They'll do fine in the front of the R3.

If your looking for a full size tower the Fractal Define XL as mention earlier is very nice. But be warned it weights almost 50lb when it shows up empty.

Bitfenix makes fantastic sleeved cables, but you'll have to look around as I haven't had much luck finding any availability locally in Canada.
Does NCIX count?

Take your pick
I have personal experience with them. The shipping is excellent: cheap and incredibly fast (pick express shipping at checkout)...maybe too fast - they delivered a Seagate Barracua, 5 Cooler Master Sickle Flows and some 4 3-pin y-splitters in 18 hours. (it arrived at 6:30AM)
Hey, finally someone that lives in the same country and nearlest location; I live in the Van area.
Oh so they do have them now. A customer was asking me to quote them on these cables some time ago. NCIX didn't have them when I checked. Good to know. Thanks!

no prob.
As you can tell, I live in Kamloops, BC. It may take more or less time for them to get to you. If you can, set up the thing where you pre-sign for your package so it doesn't get sent back to the Purolator warehouse because they arrived at 6:30AM while you were sleeping.

Ignore Ruthless he seems to hate everything NZXT make. The phantom is a good case, would be even better if they introduced a windowed side panel.

lies, the phantom fails, i dont hate all nzxt stuff i was just adamant that the havik doesnt beat the noctua... plus i really like their power supplies, their customer service is great and their led strips are awesome... i just feel that the phantom is a big sack of crap and was built for around £1.20 (not literally)

The phantom fails to you yes, look on this site and tell me how many phantoms you see. Then come back and tell me it fails.
I also believe that you were proven wrong when it came to the Havik 140 too. Stop hating start creating.
Not trying to cause an argument, just i see you on every post being arrogant and cocky.
