Some more equipment came in, the 4-in-3 hard drive adapter by Coolermaster came in. The Lian Li 343B case does not come stock with any adapter to place hard drives inside of the case, so you are left on your own. Lian Li sells some hard drive adapters, but they are fairly expensive. Since the case will have a custom mesh front, I don't need the good looking Lian Li version.
Additionally, I have recieved some of my UV CCFL lighting from performance-pcs.com, these are the 15" UV compact fluorescent lamps I ordered, they have a different purpose than you may think, details will be discussed further on. The inverter is the type which is sound activated, I'm not real big on that, so I am going to bypass the sound activation circutry and hardwire it to be 'always on'. Performance-pcs.com sheathed the cables for me in the UV orange/red color for a small extra fee, saved a bit of hassle for me :)
Even better, my 120mm Delta fans came in to replace the best buy fans (which are already living in other projects!). These 38mm thick fans are supposed to move 108 CFM at full power, and are a bit loud, but will provide sufficient airflow to the water cooling radiator. The fans are mounted in a 'pull' position, which will be a bit more efficient than pushing air through the Swiftech radiator according to some radiator testing documents I read over at overclockers.com
