I'm going to buy a new case... i'm stuck between the antec lanboy air vs the corsair obsidian series... any pro/con for either case?


also

i have the corsair h50.. when i opened it it has a layer of thermalpaste on the bottom... when i remount it on my cpu should i clean off the old paste and apply new one (just as much or just a rice size) and what is the best way to remove old paste. Thanks
 
800D, hands down, you are talking a completely different level of quality to the lanboy.

And yes, you will need to reapply thermal paste

yep, paper towel or better yet, lint free cloth. If you can get your hands on some 90+% ispopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), use that too, will make cleaning it up much easier and will work much better. Do this until you have no more coming off from the CPU or the heatsink plate, and then put a small blob of thermal paste in the centre of the CPU, and just stick the heatsink straight on there, and you are done
