I am also thinking about getting a PCI card with fans, I could put it in one of my PCI-E slots that I am never gonna use..., any recommendation there?

also going to get a fan controller, there is five case fans in there right now and I want to be able to control that using one of those panel things
any recommendations?

I have all drives, case, case, fans, PSU, and PCI cards
should trupower 430 handle all of this?

same build that I am talking about in this thread

Byan--neat list, that's some serious hardware. Spend a few extra bucks on the PSU, 430W will get lost in that system awful quickly. Check this one out:

Just bought this, arrived today. I bought for future expansion on my project.

well, actually, I am not going to be buying it afterall

I looked at the final price and decided that I am going to wait a year when my current hardware is more obsolete.
