Kind of noisy but I recently ordered a rheobus. Hopefully this will help!
No ofence, but that is serious overkill for that system. You hardly need that many fans, unless your rig is beside a heatvent or some other source of heat. None of that hardware produces enough heat that 1 intake and 1 exhuast can't take care of.

Now if you had a XP2400+ O/C'ed to the hilt 24/7 on air, 2 HDD's, and a GF3+, then I wouldn't think anything of it. Oh well, some like overkill, if and when you get some new hardware you have the fans already.

My little system has 1 intake, 1 exhuast, one CPU/HSF, and a Crystal Orb on the GF3. Case temp never goes over 25*c. A 24" tower helps though hehe.
