The difference is that the BIP or BIX II is the length of two 120mm fans and the BIP or BIX III is the length of three 120mm fans. Also, there's a price difference of about $30-50. . . .

My main concern was the difference between the BIP and the BIX. The BIX is much thicker and therefore I figure it takes a lot more fan power to push air through it. And so I thought that if I would like a quiet system then I may need to go for the BIP which doesn't require as much fan power. But like you said, it's good to "future-proof" as much as possible in case I add more or hotter components later. . . .

So, all in all, I think I may stick with the BIX III.
