Its extremely elegant but does it come at the cost of airflow?
I don't think so. The stock case comes with a 120mm fan front and back. I moved them to the top and replaced one of them with a 113CFM Delta PWM. I haven't done any serious testing because I'm replacing the C2D with an i7 next week. Just for the fun of it I disconnected the Delta and have been playing Far Cry 2 and COD4 without any cooling issues at all.Originally Posted by Biscuit
Thank you for your comment.
Deltaarent those fans extremely noisey?
Are you kidding? Deltas make extremely noisy sound quiet. They're not cooling fans, they're propulsion systems for NASA jets.
They are very good for multi-purpose systems though - computer and a vacuum cleaner
@slipperyskip
wow that case is amazing
HAHA oh yehYeah a real bit of "bolted-on" there.
It was 2 years to get to that stage, ran out of space to add anything more too it though lol
Really nice case/table there Slipperyskip
Ok I can see hwo that would get annoying however have you considered a drive with a silver/chrome/brushed metal front?I get that a lot. I wanted people to instantly recognize that this table was actually a computer. Same thinking went into the back. People instantly recognize a standard ATX case and all the capabilities of such. I do this with all my projects these days. I guess I got tired of saying "No really, it is a computer".
It would still look like a dvd drive but it would look less out of place.
Oh and what's that case you used?
And what motherboard is that?
Are the top fans pushing air in? or sucking air out?
I think that might look pritty cool with the case interia painted black and then purspex panels.

yep certainly is, the extended one
I have 16 fans in all mate dont really notice them. Their not that loud at full speed though.
my fan's never get cranked up unless im benching.
Course your dont hear them with all the electrical buzz from the other instruments in mission control!
my challenge was to get my 2 gtx 285's in seeing as they wouldn't sit next to each other due to having the arctic cooling heatsink/fanks on and wanting to use the x16 and one x8 slot.
So i had to cut a hole in the bottom of my case and bodge something up,so here it is.
Its not pretty but it works.
I'm posting this just incase its of use to someone somewhere when they google for help or use these forums.
Btw. those are my wifes tights one the bottom as a filter
