It's a generic compatibility note. You have to actually look at specs and see if its a problem. There's literally nothing inside the P400 for it to block except from maybe 1 additional HD bay if he wanted to buy the extra bracket to install in the case behind the front fans, but the case already comes with 2 slots below the PSU shroud and he's only going to use 1 of those.

Ok one last chime from me:
When it comes to the Air vs Liquid cooling debate, yeah i get that air is plenty effecient. But im a big fan of this product here: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Catego.../CW-9060040-WW It's basically liquid cooling for the CPU for dummies. It's all self contained. I like it because: 1. Whisper quiet. Couple this with the right case fans and you can barely hear the computer at all. 2. It looks cool. And i mean, if you're building your own PC it should look cool, right? Heh. 3. @ $89 it's not much more (and in some cases, less) than some of the more popular air cooled fans. |

It's nearly impossible to record even 10 audio streams of 32 bit 48k audio simultaneously to a 5400 RPM drive and then if you throw video into the equation, you're looking at continual crashing and errors. |

Just swapped out an older 5TB 7200 drive from my son's gaming PC that was starting to talk loudly with a 4 TB 5900 drive with a 256MB cache and it is noticeably quicker. |

In modern cases, which are basically all fans around the outside, you can maintain similar temps to liquid cooling with just air, and due to the low rpms on the larger fans, it is actually quieter. Plus cheaper.

It's very intensive to Read/Write huge audio files while streaming video in addition to sample libraries. I need separate SSD's for those, some of which are a TB in size. Pro audio and video are a completely different animal, unfortunately. |

My computers are racked, so there's not much, if any, air flow.

If anyone wants to take a shot at it.....throw something together.
I’m looking to use my computer for gaming, photoshop/illustrator work and then possibly as a media center hub. I may or may not be looking into burning my DVDs to watch later. Budget is $1400-$1500. I’d prefer an SSD and maybe two regular hard drives for storage (movies and files). Probably won’t be OCing at all since I have no idea what goes into it. |
