Redux only went for PSU - 140mm, 1500 rpm. There was no need to go with the industrial 2000 rpm version.
For the rad NF-F12
, for the case (back exhaust) NF-S12A, for the HDD hot swap icydock (as a replacement fan) also NF-F12.
I was looking at be-quiet fans but noctua has much better static pressure.
Also ordering demciflex white filters...

it seems intel haven't brought any significant performance boost after 2500, just minor bumps & some efficiency improvements..

That's right. There are some new beasts like 5960x or even
http://ark.intel.com/products/81061/Int ... e-2_30-GHz
but I don't feel any need for replacement of 2600K.
WOW - this xeon 2699 must rock, but 4k eur....

Recently (not so long ago) helped to build a beast for a guy who spent 5K$ for CPUs (he took two 12core Xeons) alone - well, the performance might be there (as so stability - what was his main thing while looking for system), but value wise, what You get from 2500 is hard to beat..- so it just depends on what You're up to, what are You priorities =) there's no good or bad products, even relatively old might might be a good deal in some cases! =)

Glimpse,
I posted some preliminary scores for the machine - look at DL speed
and this is only on 560 rad - I should get 480 today.
