Nice build, I'm planning on very similar (same case, PSU, MoBo, and CPU cooler). Where there problems with CPU heatsink installation? Did you use stock mount, or pass through bolts? Any deformation or stress on motherboard? No problems so far. But the fan of the ninja does touch my OCZ memory. But ...

For different reasons, 1) yes because it was modular (to get a tidy case) 2) it is DAMN silent! 3) 520 maybe overkill but rather be on the save side 4) 5 year warenty! I wouldn't go as far as calling it silent... As for overkill, it's nearly 400W more power than your system will draw. A good 300-35...

Anyway, a week or 2 ago I started reading reviews etc etc etc, ended up ordering the PC and yesterday the ...

Does the type of elastics make a difference when you build a HD suspension?

And with "type" I mean, like flat elastics or rounded elastics

Damn, are you kidding me? So the Nexus fans already have Fan Mounts included? :( So I ordered them for nothing... (4x4!).
If you're sure about this, I will try to cancel the order for the fan mounts.

How come you bought 13 fans? :p

My main concern with the bolt-thru mounting system is that I might screw them too tight. Can any one tell me "what might be too tight" ? Are they talking about the motherboard of the CPU when they say too tight? And IS it actually possible to screw it too tight? I mean, you can't really force it can...

I will definitely post some pics as soon as I get all the parts. I'm hoping they will arrive next week.

BUT I was actually hoping that I could use the top plate as well and not only the backplate. I've been looking for photo's with this kit in combination with a ninja.

I know there are some issues with the mounting, but since when is the Ninja total crap now? 90% of all the reviews are positive.

And if so, which one would YOU recommend then since you think the Ninja aint good.

Hi guys (new here),

The thing I get out of this, is that SPCR has a big and very good reputation within the "Quiet PC Market". That some one would put so much effort and time do pull a "scam" like this.

So you could look at it from a positive view! :)

Hey guys, I was looking on the net for some Ninja mods and I came across this one, It might be usefull for those you use a fan on the Ninja.
