Haahahah this was exactly what i was thinking! Lack of at least one 120mm rear exhaust fan is enough reason for me to pass on this case. Dirk-tooth....hahhhahhhaha

The Ninja is actually not a discontinued product. Give those people at Scythe a call, they will let you know that they are actually releasing a revised version with updated mounting hardware. The representative didn't give me an exact date all they said was by the end of September, but he did...

yup, the other plate is for AM2 compatibility.

i need a cheap ATi PCI video card with DVI....no need for PCIe, just some old PCI card like a Ati Radeon 7000 w/DVI. Let me know if you have one

since its a single block setup it will be fine. But i do agree with Rysher would recommend going for a dual 120 rad.

im pretty skeptical, ill stick to the ninja for aircooling for now.... ....oh yeah, its pretty ugly also

yes you can cut some fins, but be sure to examine temps under load afterwards just to make sure.

id throw the Ninja with a silent fan on the new sytem. In most tests, the Ninja slightly outperforms the 9500. But either way, you cant go wrong with either.

holli4pirating has a point, to decrease noise, have the fans pull the air through the rad and into the case. Personallyl, i would have the fans positioned as you originally intended. but have the fans suck the air out rather than in.

it'll work, but your loop wont be the most efficient setup out there. you are adding more restriction to your loop which can hurt performance. 2 single 120 rads do not equal the performance of 1 dual 120mm radiator. However, if you are working on a "stealth" mod, than 2 120mms may be the best...

removing the molex connector will not alter the fan from performing normally. If you just cut the wires, make sure you seal up the ends so the bare ends never touch.

Papst do make some great fans, but thet are really expensive. Any chance of choosing a case with some 120mm fans instead? If it helps, the only 80mm fans i ever deal with are the Panaflo L1a's. Pretty good cfm/db ratio for an 80mm fan (i think its 24cfm - 20 db).

hahahahaha....btw, if you do pick up a "saw hole", run your hand drill in reverse for acrylic....

No doubt, the CNPS9500 is awesome, but for the price id have to go with the Ninja. Both are great coolers, but for around 30 bucks i cant find a reason not to go with the Ninja.

hmm, its gonna get quite pricey once you add a cpu and gpu block. I think it may be better to try to buy parts individually. Might actually be cheaper although you may have to do a bit more modding.
