The controller is the NZXT Sentry LX - $60-$70

Sentry LX @ Newegg

I like the controller - nice eye candy, bright, controls five fans. It also allows you to switch between an auto mode that sets fan speed based on temps and a manual mode. I am little concerned about the battery life. The unit uses a small battery to store the date, time, and settings when you turn your PC off. I have read up a little and it looks like this is a fairly commom issue with this device. I love the way NZXT stuff looks but I have had issues (most small but annoying) with all of the NZXT stuff I own.

Transplanted my system into a new case today, decided on the Cooler Master Storm Sniper. I love it so far, although it looks like the front fan cover seems to have taken some damage during shipping. Some pics:

Very nice case Bender. Cooler Master has been releasing some pretty kickass computer cases lately.

Bender-- I notice that your 4850x2 is a bit bent. Is it really that heavy? How's the thermals compared with your old case?

It's pretty heavy, but it's probably leaning more from the length. Considering using some cable ties to support it, but not sure where would be best. Getting some good performance cooling wise. Temps dropped across the board ~5-10 C. The hard drives are especially well cooled with that 200mm fan in front. Those side fans probably contributed the most to the video card and processor temps, but those didn't originally come with the case.

Yeah, I'm also thinking of a good solution if I have such a long and heavy card. Cable ties might help though...

What don't you like about your new case?
