If you're into the whole clear side case thing you can get that one in the link. The case comes standard with 3 fans: 200mm blue/red led front intake (LED on/off switchable), 200mm top exhaust and a 140mm rear exhaust. Should be sufficient cooling for a nice sli setup. If it's the non clear side panel version, you can use 2 x 120mm fans on the side panel and top panel for better cooling using high cfm fans.
When i originally bought the Antec 900 is was purely from reading reviews on it being a 'gaming case'. Apparently i missed the parts where it said it was cramped inside.
As for the memory issue, if you ram operates at a certain speed at a higher than standard DDR2 voltage (1.8V) and timings then you must set the RAM timings/voltage according to what they're rated at. Thing abt brand name memory is that they work with certain boards which is why i using Markvision memory now which has more compatibility across different mainboards than most other brands.Had your kinda board before with a Q9300 but was using Crucial Ballistix 800/1000MHz DDR2 RAM, no problems in dual channel mode. Updated the BIOS to the latest as well.

This ever happen to ulyuh?
I have a set of KVR RAM a 2x2GB set and a single 2GB.
Both are 800Mhz and same timings, just bought at different times. If i separate them... like mix them and boot.. say 1 2GB from the set and the single one.. the system NEVER posts! but individually... they normal and in their pair and separate... normal.
This was on an ASUS M3N78-EM and M3A78-VM. Basically the 780G and the other with the 8300 ob.
I literally was lol'n when this happened. I never went and investigate it tho...

did u check to see if the voltage ratings are the same?
and tbh those asus boards u mentioned. i owned both at one point i time..memory for me was a mess.. so i bought 2 gb ddr2 markvision and settled for that..asus boards over the yrs has had bad compatibility problems.. i will read online to check this and that and blah blah blah, at the end of the day, its the board itself and u gotta settle for wat works.
and i never realized this til now... so all this time it could be underpowered. But i doubt it was.
