found some reviews on the loons and it appears as though its the same as Nexus but slower rpm and a lot cheaper. Can't find any reviews on zalman fans and I want to be certain they are quit.
The asus board can control 3 chassis fans, 1 power fan and 1 cpu fan. So I may be able to use those instead of a fan controller. The problem I have with a fan controller is where to put it. I have used up all my 5.25 bays (1 dvd, 3 bay fan) leaving me with only a 3.5 bay.
As for the GPU, I am seeing the evga 9800 on sale at tiger but no wheres else at that price. That card looks like it will fill my needs. Thanks for the feedback!
