Great case!

Rosewill RSV-L4000 - 4U Rackmount Server Case / Chassis - 8 Internal Bays, 7 Cooling Fans Included
Rosewill RSV-L4000 - 4U Rackmount Server Case / Chassis - 8 Internal Bays, 7 Cooling Fans Included

Pros: The case is great, used all stock fans except the front 2 120mm's.. Decided I wanted to use some Red LED ones to identify that amchine vs others.

Cons: The only issue I have, was the harddrive cages themself, they slide in very awkward way, never got them in right, but it worked. Also the rails I bought to go with this are the worst ever, not even listed on rosewill's site anymore. So buy the case, but not the rails.

Decent Board

ASUS Rampage III Gene LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Decent medium sized board, runs a quality processor and 24gb of ram which is perfect for even the highest games.

Cons: Wish the north bridge had a fan, for overclocking. If you plan to overclock, I recommend learning to do manual overclock. I got much better performance, and an all around more solid performance from manual over having the system control it.

Overall Review: Decent board for what I do, sadly I bought this weeks before the 1155's became popular. so a little bummed there, but overall great board!

not bad

Thermaltake CL-W0075 Liquid Cooling System
Thermaltake CL-W0075 Liquid Cooling System

Pros: Nice system, keeps a quad core Xeon CPU nice and cool without any mods, was sort of a pain getting the mounting plates to fit cause of the chipset cooling on my Evga 790i SLI, but I made it work. Just hoping there are no future leaks.

Cons: Newegg should stock just bottles of this systems coolant, would be nice to have extra on hand for changes/flushes or leaks.

Good Board

Intel X38ML Server Motherboard LGA 775 Intel X38 DDR2 800

Pros: Good overall performance from an intel based server

Cons: Chassis is a pain, made for blade type setup hence will only work well in a blade style chassis

Overall Review: Intel should focus on ATX boards, would love to see this board in an ATX or EATX form factor
