No side buttons but it should be serviceable.

BTW I'm I. The first college class in 9 years and there's rap music playing over the speakers. Community College FTW

Yeah I was thinking about that but decided that side buttons would be something that I would never use.

Most cases seem to come with a minimal number of fans. They'll work but a few more is better. Next thing for you to get into is positive vs negative airflow. I'm a fan of positive airflow (more inflow than outflow) but at a rate of 55-60% inflow. The benefit of positive airflow is that it is supposed to reduce the dust buildup in the chassis.

You could always just got for a basic balanced setup. That is what I have done with mine.

I can't imagine not using them. They just make switching items so much more fluid, for me anyways. Too each his own.

ive got 5 cats and i can assure you that positive airflow coupled with good dust screens at the inflow point make ALL the difference in the world.

This is key. Otherwise, the positive airflow makes dust worse. I like the magnetic filters. Just slap them on the case and you're done. Easy to remove and clean. I have two cats, which is bad enough. Can't imagine the nightmare of 5. fricking cats.

My case has a lot more outflow than in, but that's because I have water cooling. I have 8 gentle typhoons blowing out to vent the warm air from the radiators. 3 regular 120mm case fans and one 240mm fan blowing in. I initially had my bottom radiator's fans pulling in air from the bottom, but it was introducing warm air into the case, and those fan filters were getting clogged way too quickly (my case sits on carpeted floor, with about 3 inches of space between the bottom of the case and the floor (I put casters on my case).

You had your case raised? I need to try that.

So, here's another example of why running Prime or even AIDA64 for hours on end can be pointless.

My 4770k has been Prime/AIDA stable at 4.7GHz/1.28v since I upgraded in June. But after all the stress testing, some video encoding, and lots of games, it was Battlefield 3 that ultimately proved it wasn't 100% stable. That's why I suggest overclockers run Prime or AIDA for maybe 20 minutes, even though some people insist on running it for 24 hours. No reason to put unnecessary stress/heat on it, especially with Haswell.

I have the HAF 932, which comes with a set of casters that you can choose to install instead of the standard feet.

This is what I do now. I don't have the time to run tests for hours on end. I also use IBT for 20 runs with 2gb of ram. If I can pass all Aida and IBT then I'm good for the most part. I rarely even frick with P95 anymore.

If I do use p95 then it's only for 10 minutes with small ffts

aida temps are WAY lower. 10-15c if not more usually.
