Quality black ATX case by @drian
Can anyone recommend a quality black case with 120mm fan mounts and provisions to cool two fast hard drives? Full or mid tower is fine. I've tried the Antec Sonata but didn't like it as it didn't provide sufficient cooling for the hard drives. Thanks. @drian.

Thermal paste by -
Does using thermal paste on the CPU really make a great deal of difference in conducting heat to be dissapated? What sort of temperature differences are we talking about between using an average thermal paste and a CPU using no paste whatsoever?
