I'm trying to find an 8 fan case for my new system. I need at least a 300 PS and it has to be AMD approved/recommended. Preferably I'd like 2 intake fans in front, 2 intake on side, 2 exhaust on top, and 2 exhaust in the back. Is this reasonable for a pre-made case or should I do it myself?

That seems a little overkill, but these guys have a case that might work for you http://www.overclockerz.com/cases.htm
Good luck, and by the way... does anyone know where I can pick up a case fan pin converter - I bought a thermaly controled one, and it has a two pin lead that doesn't match any on the case or motherboard.

The FT-1000 looks pretty cool for $229, the best thing about it is my MC462 would definitely go unnoticed, my Clearcase now has 4-92's and they cant be heard with the 462 runnin...
