No idea. Intake front yes, not sure on the side fan configuration, will probably have it as an intake as the exhaust fan and H100 (pull from case I think) will for for outtake.

is the h110 on the top not intake as well no? I have no idea, just wondering. think I'm going with a h60, which they seem to recommend putting at the back but was going to see if I could use it at the top as I thought they were intake with the radiator, so was going to have intake front and top, out take back and the side either in/out take then as well. there's space for a fan at the bottom as well isn't there?

I figure it's best to have fairly cool air coming from the case (shouldn't be too bad) cooling the radiator rather than hot air from the radiator blowing onto the motherboard.

Just ordered one of the two things I forgot off eBay - a motherboard POST speaker. Old school

Other thing was a Boogie Bug XL pad, forgot to get it off Scan. Only a tenner too. If anybody in the Dublin region is getting anything off them soon, give me a shout and I can contribute to delivery if you get that for me too. Can't be paying more for delivery than the item itself

Are you building tonight? Couldn't see why you'd just unbox them and stare without touching them

It doesn't actually take as long as people think.

The whole assembly of the system could take under two hours, depending on the stuff you're using. Windows is normally installed in 15 minutes, so you could have your system up and running by 11.00 if you started soon.

Got all but the CPU cooler and graphics card done. Will need to fix the motherboard though, small clip from the I/O plate got the wrong side of the HDMI port. Hopefully it doesn't mean taking out the whole board.
