Hey.

 

I'm looking to build my own system in the next few weeks, and my mind is set on using the corsair 500R case however I have a few questions.

 

I'm just going to be using the stock fans for now (side 200mm, front 2x120mm, rear 120mm(?), with a hyper 212 evo cooler (unless someone can recommend something else for a good price) - not looking for water cooling atm)

The front panel controller uses proprietary fan connectors that will work only with the stock front and side fans (the rear 120mm fan is a regular fan).
