Micro,

I picked the Dreamer case on the order with a Cooler Master V6 GT CPU Cooler (Nickle Plated Double-V Heatpipe) for CPU cooling.

They notified me that: the case and CPU cooling unit selected will not fit together. We will need to either change the case to (name with held in case any of ya'll actually have this really ugly case) or change the CPU cooling unit to liquid cool.

I picked a different case - that was on back-order, didn't specify if it would have worked - but I could go to (again, this same really ugly case).

I picked a different case - that wouldn't work either, but I could go to (again, this same really ugly case).

I picked yet another case - same story with the offer of the same case they'd offered before.

I finally told them that I definitely did not want that particular case and we settled on going with the liquid cooled and back to the original case I specified.

All things work together for good though - maybe I'm actually better going with the liquid cooled - we'll just have to see. I've had the same thoughts Mark shared, but ArVee made some good points. So - I'm thinking my guardian angel may have interfered for a purpose. ;-)

Sun :-)

Micro!

You're not interrupting at all! And yes - I know I could have built her myself, but right now, I just don't have time and since she's going to church, I want her on her best behavior and without some of the "glitches" that I ended up with in Baby Blue. I'll confine my "tinkering" to my own units that won't disrupt a church service if it misbehaves.
