So my brother in newyork is going to sell one of the cases and use my Define R4 as his main rig case...And my dad said he can sell them...so its 100% inshAllah ( 😉 ) That we are going to buy a case off amazon. JUST TO BE SAFE. Any other nice cases out there for 119$? The case alone can be 119. Just want to see if there is anything else. 119 as in 120.
 
tiny voices - Tell your GF i saw you're a keeper 😛 (Referring to you as a good guy)

Yeah I'll stick with the H440. I want to buy it before the 24th so I can have it preordered and in line for me.



 


I would have to put that in the luxury category. For me that money would go towards a higher end or 2nd graphics card, or a higher end or even a 2nd or 3rd monitor before I would spend that much to control my fans when it can be done manually. Even if it was a 20 fan system

But if I already had the dual 780TIs and three monitors, I might want that fan controller too. Hell, why not. It is pretty sweet.
 
Haha. Guys I have a question. The H440 says

Front: 2x 140/3x120mm (3 x 120mm FN V2 Fans Included)
Top: 2x 140/3x120mm
Rear: 1x 140/120mm (1 x 140mm FN V2 Fan Included)


Whats better? 2 140's or 3 120's? Might sound dumb I know but just curious cause in the future I can get 3 AF 120's or two AF140's...whats better and has more intake and cooling? x2 140 or x3 120.

Thanks :3
 
Honestly with your build, you will not need any crazy fan setup.

I would go with two front intake fans (120 or 140 doesn't matter). Your h100i set to exhaust at the top and a single rear exhaust AT MOST. Anything more will not help cooling at all and will just make noise.
 
I like it. I'll probably be making a new one as soon as my moderator promotion goes through as well.

The case needs no extra fans at all. Just use what it comes with. Don't change anything, just install your h100i as an exhaust up top and you will be good to go.
 
TinyVoices - Yeah You're right. But there is ONE THING i will change...I already have an AF140 RED LED which I MIGHT replace the 140 at the back with...and later Ill replace that with an AF140 NON LED so I can have that 3 way red ring action going on FOR LOOK reasons....I know it will preform the same. But I also care about looks so yeah...

Good Luck with the moderator app!

Also, FYI guys, Mirakledba Is my last name backwards. Do the math.. Tiny voices - Ill remove the logo. I never pirate but It said this is premium but let me save the file for some reason. I think its not premium. But Ill still use their free ones


UPDATE: This one is free..I derped and read it as paid but its a premium feature you can more FOR MORE. These are free
 


It is a luxury item. But when you have $550 worth of fans and $300 worth of pumps to control the $200 price tag doesn't seem so bad. Not to mention the $500 you spend on radiators and $400 on fittings. That doesn't even tap into the two to four GPU blocks, CPU block, mobo and RAM blocks that a high end system might have that comes out to about another $800.

All a luxury.

There are cheaper controllers, the Lamptron's are around $100.
 
So, I got my H440 pre ordered, and now I'm thinking that I would like to incorporate a motherboard cover when I move everything to the new case. There are some obvious hurdles, such as what to make it out of(I'm thinking acryllic), how to mount it to the motherboard or case(open to suggestions here), if it will cause heat problems(thinking if I leave the heatsinks uncovered I'll be ok here), and if it's worth the time and effort it would take to accomplish it. Cost wise, it would be minimal to do, I think anyways.
So, yeah, please give your opinion on if I should do it or not, and any suggestions on how I could. Thanks for your time guys 🙂

Just found this pic, the cover he has over his board here is kind of what I'm looking for

Guess i should put this in here: This pic is of one of Jesse Palacio's systems.
 
jeremyp79 - HIGH FIVE. I JUST PRE-ORDERED THE H440 TOO 😀 Black and Red..

I , My brother and My dad were listening to some classical music, laughing and stuff. So I joked "Now that everyone is happy, lets buy our cases 😀 " Clearly a joke cause It wasnt needed to buy them right at that moment at 1:20 am. But he said Ok sure lets do it. And den we bought it :3
