Oh wow. Maybe something not so pricey? About 300 and below? With side slot drive bays.

Side slot HDD bay perhaps difficult to find that have more than 6. For lower than 300, maybe you can grab Centurion 590? But still same HDD bay style with Elysium..Up to 12 HDD with 4-3 Device Module...last year found 1 new unit @ IOI Mall...don't know it still there or not...

Haha... Nah, won't join. I already make up my mind. TJ08-E it is. I'm not a multi-GPU guy. And I prefer smaller set up. Mid tower that support 240mm rad without mod considered large for me. sweat.gif

Finally decision is made~! rclxms.gif TJ08-E is niceeee.... wub.gif
I read somewhere in Garage Sale that you can trade your WC parts for others. But not sure which seller... nod.gif

Those are smaller casing that can fit 6 HDD. Can find any smaller? Btw, PC-Q08 fit the mobo on casing body, Q18 is better but need to backorder.

Instead of high speed fans, why not invest on some quality fans that has low RPM but high static pressure?  biggrin.gif
Noctua fans, Noiseblocker fans, etc...

For casing fan i think better opt for high CFM than high static pressure....IMHO icon_rolleyes.gif

What do you mean which header? You mean connectors? It's just the standard fan connectors. I didn't mod it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_control

And I didn't control the speed either. I've overclocked the CPU to 4.5ghz but the temp seems stable at 50-70C while gaming , thus I left the fan speed alone. For testing purposes I can use SpeedFan. Since I don't fool around with the speed much, I didn't bother getting a dedication fan control box.

His mean is which fan header on the mobo that you connect to the fans (which header to which fan) as Z77X-D3H have several fan header...
