Hi Pineedles,
Yeah that is one HUGE fan, I hadn't used that particular case before and couldn't believe it when I saw it. You would NOT believe how quite that case is. That huge fan spins at quite a low rpm but is so big that it draws out a huge volume of air. The case came with 4 fans, I added another to the one fan in the front for more front flow, plus the power supply fan, and GTX 260 fan, and the 2 back case fans. It's sitting next to an older P4 system and you literally cannot even hear the new one next to the old. It's amazing how quite the new fans are.
I forgot to post about a very good friend of mine's blog (Anura Guruge):

He posts to it almost daily and is doing a migration, slowly I might add, from his XP machine to this new machine you saw pics of. He is writing of his new experiences with Win7 and it is very interesting to follow. He's lived here in Alton for some years and was on lake over on Varney point for many years. Here is also a link to his home page, he's quite an interesting guy, and dare I say "genius" in many areas.

BTW Pineedles are you running Win7 yet or still waiting to take the leap?
