| Most aftermarket heatsinks are easier to install than the CPU's stock fan.

also, xfx's double lifetime warranty is worth $10...
that lancool has shitty cooling and is small. get the 922. |
I dropped a random 5850 BECAUSE THERE WILL BE DEFLATION BECAUSE OF THE 5830 AND THE FERMI, XFX DOUBLE LIFETIME WARRANTY SOUNDS COOL, BUT WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PASS IT DOWN? Infact, have you ever need to have double warranty? chances are, 5850 will be worthless once you have the mind to sell it.
if you don't know how Lian Li case work, go do some homework, they are not small, they can fit 5970 without even struggling, also big,more LED, fans =/= better airflow, go do more homework.
And please don't say Lian Li is a shit brand, you are no were close to hero or hero2
Also at OP, water cooling is stupid in general, if you are spending less than $50 on a water cooling kit, chances are, the tubes will break, also it would be pain in the ass to maintenance (Bough corsair h50, only few degree difference, go back to hyper 212 for half of the price.
protip: more expensive heatsink =/= better, the hyper 212 really have the best value unless you can find a Vendetta II for $10 after rebate.

umm, the visionteh has a 2-3 year warranty. also, the haf 922 is about 2 inches longer and 1 inch taller than the lian li, and 1 120mm fan will not cool very well.

I cant figure out what makes that build so expensive. It's not awfully good.

A bigger fan does not mean better cooling at all, it is just quieter.

No, bigger fans are quieter. Generally, of course.
A 120mm fan will spin much slower than an 80mm, and it'll also generate less noise.

All of you are dopes. I like the monitor I picked, and that's not what I'm concerned with. Stop telling me about bigger monitors, I hate 1920x1080. It's an ugly number, 1680x1050 is more than big enough, and it's a nice number.
