My New Toy

Very nice Rapier - that gave me a few ideas since I'll have to upgrade soon. Do you get good airflow in that case? (heat has been an issue for my current rig)

So far I like the case. Here are some specs.

Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top 140mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, option Fans-2x Side 120mm Fan

With three stock fans and the option for two extras air flow is not a problem. also, the entire front of the case is perforated, and much of the back of the case is also perforated. it also can be set up for water cooling if desired.

I do check mp CPU temps and it stays around 93 degrees with a room temp of 70 degrees. This is with the stock Intel CPU Fan and heat-sink. An aftermarket CPU cooler would probably improve this quit a bit.

I wasn't worried about the CPU cooler, because I can change the fan at any time and with the case you have access to the back of the motherboard for changing the fan.

Awesome - thanks for the review, that helps!
