    Oh you're one of those guys that doesn't like a flashy case. I respect that. I want lights, windows, and many fans of many sizes and colors. I have the H100 and it's a beast (Don't worry about the low clicking sound, they all make that sound. It's the pump). Also, why not go with 64GB of RAM?

      You can get the 350D with a window if needs be. I bought the solid panel version though. After my current MountainMods Twice7 case I'm looking forward to something a little more simple looking.

      64GB would be a waste of money. Even 16Gb isn't needed at all unless you're into some heavy duty photo/video processing.

          It's currently being leak tested on my current rig. Can never be too sure.... especially as this is a Corsair direct refurb.

          I see nothing mentioned about the haribo yet...

            Are you using Haribo gummy bears to power it?

              I don't know what Haribo is/was... so I ignored it.

                  I wish. But OverclockersUK give you free Haribo with every purchase. They're always Tangfastics which are yummy!

                  In my current rig. It's a HD7850 that I picked up about 4months ago after my GTX460 died.

                        @Water cooling:
                        Is the H110 worth the money? If you have a 7950+ gpu in your system, wouldn't it be louder than any cpu fan?
                        Also, are such systems secure? I fear that one day my PC gets destroyed because of a broken water pipe?

                        I'm holding my new build back till the ivy bridge-e arrives. I hope to be ready around the BF4 launch.

                        I bought a lot of b-stock there. But after a weeks time I couldn't see/eat any more gummy bears, which was a good thing.

                          The H100 I have replaced an H50 that I was using previously. I have had the H100 since December of 2010. I put the H50 in my son's computer. Neither have leaked and both cool extremely well. The H100 is mounted to the top fans on my NZXT Phantom. The phantom is designed to accept a radiator under the top fans.

                            I am very rough with my H100. I have cleaned it at least 3 times and there were times when I thought "OMG I BROKENED IT!!!!" They take a hit really well. The cooling is only as good as your ambient temps. I have them in Push/Pull config and the temps are at 40C. Which isn't that good, but when it's on full load it doesn't go past 50C. I don't overclock though, I only got liquid because it's freakin awesome to say "I got 3 radiators in my computer."

                              I'm not sure I'd ever buy one of these watercoolers at full price. This refurb set me back £39.99 and includes a 1 year warranty. I think the original price was just north of £100.

                              Watercooling is a risk, and I have fears of it leaking also. That is why I'm leak testing it outside of my current case for a few days. If it passes this the chances of the structure failing are very very minimal.
