Chill . I gotta get the fanbus first. I have an old AT psu actually right here in it is pretty damn tempting to just fire 'em up right now . I wanna take it slowly and not **** anything up though.

Yeah. You're probably totally right about this. However, noise is a big consideration with this machine. The L1As are 21 db-A on the 12v line. The H1As are 35!

Sorry. I sent the two haydens back to Chip as they were unused.

I'm actually blowing in. The air outside of the case is significantly cooler than the air on the inside. So by sucking in, i'm pushing cool air through the radiator instead of case-temp water. The difference is pretty small, but it is there.
