Thanks O man! Though I've seen the 900s at Frys and read tons about 'em and peoples builds with 'em this is the 1st one I've built and you're right, they're an awesome case design.

This one is a replacement for a 2.13ghz Core 2 Duo machine I built about 2 years ago into a Cooler Master Wavemaster all aluminum case and as much as I loved the Wavemaster case, which is actually almost a piece of metallic art as well as a computer case, it was tough to finally retire it.

One of the deciding factors in making the transition was the noise from the fans as the Wavemaster case only supported 80mm fans and they're not anything close to as quiet as the newer 120s (and larger like in the top of the 900). I have owned this Cooler Master case for about 6yrs now and it was still hard to decide to go with a different design. The all aluminum design of the Wavemaster went a long way towards keepin everything cool inside, though I think the new 900 will do an even better job winking smiley

In all honesty I could do without the "bling" factor all the lasers mounted in the fans give this case and I'd have been just as happy with the build if they weren't there at all. On the upside though this case now lights my office up with a cool bluish glow at night .... like it was when I fired this puppy up at 2 somethin am this morning eye popping smiley
