There's an idea.....the TX1050 [ http://www.antec.com/us/productDetai...?ProdID=61050] has a 92mm duct right over where most CPUs sit [see http://www.antec.com/pdf/drawings/TX...G_Drawing.pdf] on the case side but I am concerned that the height of that heatsink might force me to remove the duct tunnel and thereby the mount for a 92mm fan. I do have an amazingly quiet 92mm in the duct at the moment. I also have an extremely quiet (having replaced the original) 120mm exhaust on the back.....I think that heatsink may be too high to retain the 92mm duct.
