you also could fit anything in here BigTower[^]
for less than a fourth of the price, btw. mine looks more style ISH

Not even close to being true. Looking at the gallery I'm not even sure if you could fit a twin 120 mm radiator in it (top clearance looks rather tight); nevermind the quad 140mm beast I bought my leviathan to hold.

Quote: Lüfter (oben): 1x 200mm, 600-800rpm, 13-15dB(A) (blau beleuchtet), 1x 200mm (optional)
Which means fan (top) 1x200mm (blue light) is already installed, 1x200 (optionally) can be installed by you. So 2 top fans possible

My concern looking at the case is that I'm not sure if there's enough space between the top of the case and the motherboard for a radiator. Even a thin radiator will be about 25mm thick (and thin radiators don't work particularly well), half or twice again that is common. And you still need to mount a fan on in to push air through. A lot of cases don't have room for that; and that one looks marginal at best.
A secondary concern is that AFAIK no one sells 200mm wide radiators; so unless the top is pre-drilled for 120/140mmm fans you'd need to mod it to mount them.

Dunno in which world you live, Fan[^]
I finally understood now that you want to put a cpu cooling unit into the top of the tower
this link[^] has some more pictures of the case.
BTW from that link "ein weiterer 200-mm-Lüfter im Oberteil einbaubar, kann stattdessen einen 240-mm-Radiator aufnehmen,"
Means, instead of the one 1x200mm optional fan you can use a 240mm radiator.

I'd rather put the radiator anywhere else; but that tiny case is cramped enough that the top is the only place that might be able to fit a radiator. And its less the CPU I'm concerned with - you can get quiet and effective tower coolers for them - than the GPU. Compared with the big and slow fans on radiator even the 3x80/92mm fans on an open air GPU (never mind a blower) are obnoxiously loud while gaming.

Umm...That's a mid-tower case. Not even close to the size of the one I got.
My case has a "basement" where the power supply goes, room for a second power supply next to it, and more room for a 420mm radiator.
On top of that is a "midplate" that makes up the floor of the case where the motherboard goes. There's enough room, front to back, to put two full ATX motherboards, with enough room other that to put another 560mm radiator. And that's before you get into the expansion options on top of the case.
I don't have a second motherboard, but I do have a 1.75l bottle of Jack Daniels, a fifth of Captain Morgans, a fifth of Johnny Walker Black, and a smallish bottle of Winter Jack in there.
And my case, thankfully, doesn't look like R2D2.

Just to be clear, this aint the case im using. Because i attend Lan-Partys i quit my BIG BIG BIG Tower times and switched to midi, and this case, thus it is smaller than yours, is classified as a Big-Tower.

I don't do LAN parties any more, since MPCON hasn't has an event in years.
I had a full-size tower I lugged around. To make things easier I cut holes in the roof of the case to put a couple of these[^] handles in.

I still have a few single-threaded games I like to play (e.g. C&C 3) that benefit from the higher core clock. I could overclock the 6 core but I never have been that adventurous with my PC tweaking (overclocking voids the warranty with most chips anyways). I really thought about it since it is currently in some sort of flash sale on newegg for $396 but it was tempting me to buy more RAM. My wallet is NOT bottomless.

I notice the "Black background" is "not optimized for user experience". Has anyone told Microsoft this?

I don't know about that. The LGA 1051 socket doesn't ever seem to die.

Not it hasn't. Various[^] LGA[^] 115x[^] sockets[^] have been used for about a decade, but they've previously changed it out every two years with the new architecture.
This may be the first time Intel's done it without changing architecture; but as a 3 generation socket LGA1151 has already lasted longer than any of its predecessors.

Yeah, I was also going to suggest hunting a motherboard down on eBay. I recently upgraded from an LGA775 system with a Core 2 Extreme QX9650 CPU. I thought it was still quite usable, but I needed a system with Hyper-V capability, so I had to move on.

I don't know if you are fully set on the case being a Full Tower, but I recently made a new build for which I spent a long time comparing cases on the web and in the stores. I did look at that Thermaltake case you link to, but the Full Tower chassis are just too big for my taste and needs. It does have a little brother, but I checked it out in a store and it just didn't do it for me.
I finally decided on going with the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO (RC-902XB-KKN2)[^] and I am overly satisfied with that choice. It is a very handy case if you need to move it around fairly often (as I do) and you have great access when tinkering with components.

That's a neat little tower. I can see where it would be a benefit where excessive size would be an issue. I, however, need all those extra internal drive bays <maniacal laugh="">.

Why raid 0 the ssd's? Please don't say for performance!
Also double check your PSU has the right CPU power connectors for these new mobo's. It probably does have them but worth checking first.
Oh and 4 years is a massive amount of time for a socket, doubt 2066 will last much longer!
