    You might want to consider the amount of noise the two large fans will make. Even the air flow from the fans will cause the sound playback to be distorted!
    24/7 PC CoolerMaster CM690 + 7 fans(its HOT as HELL in Shanghai) Intel Xeon E3 1230 3.3-3.7Ghz, 2x8GB DDR3 1600 G-Skill, HD GT630 2GB, Scandisk Pro 256SSD 2x2TB Green, 2x 3TB WD Green Data Drives.

    yes, there is , i could even probably fit a 3rd 120mm fan in there if i wanted, so a tri-rad would be a possibility.
    EDIT: Scratch the 3rd 120mm fan. but yeh, theres enough room for a dual rad.

    if you had to get a nice HTPC .. either make it 3-4feet tall .. or just plain flat desktop types

    getting in between two is just plain weird .. especially when you're placing in your living room for aesthetique purposes ... designs of the HTPC is hard .. as you might need to non-computer users to provide decent views .. since they're the ones who really see what's exterior looks like

    for us .. most of us are just too interior extravagant .. beside getting the exterior right .. not just the shape exterior must match the mobo, and the components + cooling etc
    the exterior must also match your living room .. especially the furniture!
    you wouldn't want to have a huge metal casing sprout out of nowhere in your classical interior design living room .. would you? if there's such british houses
    i think about 90% of the stuff you said was stupid, so im not gonna properly reply to it. - oh, and take some english lessons pls

    what two large fans? you mean the 120mm ones? they wont be that loud, especially if they are high quality ones, or on low voltage. i was planning to put in an integrated fan controller
    oh, and maybe some anti-vibration material between them and the case could help

    thanks for the comments guys, liking it!
