Do you connect your 120mm fan(s) to your PSU or Mobo?

I have 4 Yate Loons fans installed in my P182 case and I'm wondering if it's best to connect them to your PSU or Mobo? What about the heatsink fan? Thanks in advance.

Ram @ Stock Speed - DDR2 800 or DDR2 1066?

For those wanting to buy ram but have no interest in overclocking then what would be the best choice to go for? DDR2 800 or DDR2 1066? Can any of you enlighten me what's the difference and is 1066 more important than 800 in terms of speed when doing multi-tasking stuff?

Cruical Or Mushkin

Majority of the folks here highly recommended Crucial so I guess I will go along with the majority and purchase Crucial. Not to thread jack but will I experience any noticeable difference when purchasing a DDR2 800 and DDR2 1066 when running on stock speeds?

Suggestions/Recommendations for Tower Cases

Could y'all recommend or suggest a quality tower case with best airflow? Doesn't necessary have to be the BEST but just good enough to provide airflow in and out. I was thinking of CM Stacker but i'm sure there are alot of options you guys can provide. Anyway, my budget is 200-300$.

Anyone get the American version of Dell 2407? They fixed the banding problem but I don't really think this is true. Can anyone confirm this?
