The front 200mm case fan on my 650D is making this annoying buzzing sound and I finally switched it out for CoolerMaster 200mm MegaFlow 200mm fan. I think the problem might be a design flaw of the honeycomb holes in front of the fan. Anyway, now it's smooth and quiet (minus the ricer red LED on the fans. I really liked it without the stupid LEDs) and I feel the need of replacing the 2x120mm fans on the H70. LOL.
BTW if you are looking to switch out the 200mm fans I found an awesome price for them. under $9 for the Coolermaster Megaflows.
Alot of people cut out the "grill" to the fans, mine actually are not to terrifyingly loud, im sure aftermarket fans would prolly flow more and be a bit quieter. I use to game on a Alienware M17x w/ an i7-920xm OC'd and that was unbearingly loud. So this computer is super quiet compared to that lol.

What are the specs on the megaflows?

noob Q but I know most builds all seem to go the SSD for OS + HDD for storage route...how would that benefit, say gaming?

I'm assuming you have to install 10-15GB per game to get the benefit...wouldn't that fill up the pricey SSD really fast? Or do i totally have this logic wrong?
Umm, I save some games I play alot on the OS (SSD) the loading times are improved alot! Other than that I keep all my games/etc on the storage drive, its huge compared to the SSD. The main reason for the OS being on a SSD is the amazing boot times.
