The heatsink fouling was a real disappointment for me. If I were to rotate the heatsink 90 degrees, it wouldn't be a problem, but there are some HSFs out there that don't give users the option. Luckily, the Noctua is a breeze to install.
They show the NZXT fan controller in some of their PR shots. I think it really livens up the front of the case while fitting in with the overall design.
In testing, I installed both my HD 3870 with the TRad2 and with the stock cooler. Getting to the cards was easy - I just unscrewed the four thumb screws holding the PSU in, rotated it out of the case, and dropped in the video cards. It's that simple to install and remove the PSU.
Alternatively, had I used a smaller heatsink, I could have just pulled the mobo tray. heh.
