    Where to put my holes? *56K stay away!

    ok... I have decided to give my PC a face lift! I am going from this:






    To this:

    http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...119-035&depa=1






    So, I had a wave master but got ride of it... didnt match my decore.... I plan to paxmate this thing and add 3 blow holes! So, where should I put them? Perhaps a 120mm on top (bringing air in) and two on the side (drawling air out).... My main consern with this project is quietnes! Thats the whole reason I'm doing this! I am alitle conserned with my raptors... in my wavemaster they made alot of noise... so I'm hoping the paxmate fixes that...


    Any ideas? recomendations? coments?

    Please post them! PS. has anyone here done any mods to this case> I remember that I tried to put a blow hole on the side panel of my wavemasterl but there was no room... So I hope I dont run into that problem here... But this will fix it!

    Edit: There site dont mention how much air this thing moves! I know some of you have it in your shutels! So, how much does it move? will two of these on my side panel sufice?

    Top fan hole should always be expelling air as hot air rises
    Have the two side ones blowing inwards, What gfx card you putting in there? I would recommend having one fan directly above the cpu fan or above the n/b and the other over the side of the graphics card.

    It will have my BFG 6800 Ultra OC... I would like to remove that heat as fast as posible... I just got done paxmating my current case (the one listed above) and it really helped quiet my raptors! But that fan noies is still there... It sounds more like just massive amounts of air moving.... Perhaps my quest for a silent PC will fail after all, but I must atleast try!

    I agree with what Shogun said.

    How about just putting one 120mm fan in the side of it though - a decent one will shift more air than 2x80mm and be quieter as well
    Don't know anything about that Zalmna fan mate ... but its 15mm deep (very thin) so won't shift alot of air and in "normal" mode 33 dba - not that quiet imo.

    Myst look into fans like the vantec stealth or papst fans (some of them are silent). If its really the noise of air moving (whoosh sound) then there isn'
    t much you can do about it. I'm not sure if ducting would make it better or worse. I'l experiment tonight and let you know.
