Common Questions:

Q.) Why don't you install a top fan?
A.) Anyone selling a case with a top fan never tested for airflow. Top fans disrupt airflow and increase temperatures. You never want a top fan under any scenario!

chinman i just bought one of their cases from myunk with two 92mm on side 1-80mm in front and 1-80mm in rear. I havent been above 80 deg f case temp since i got it. My 1.33 t-bird is running cool. exhaust(heat) out the rear or top as long as it gets out.

just my two cents

I had the same question... Thought I knew the answer and this thread reaffirmed it.

It has all the responses you need...

BTW, even though the top side comments is off base, the Tornado cases are still really good. I've got a 1000 and it cools just great. Not completely silent, but not as loud as I thought it would be.

the noise blends in with the surrounding room noise, unless your gonna sleep next to it all night long you wont notice that much. You wont be dissapointed in the cooling of this case. just got done playing quake 3 for hour solid and case temp didnt break 80 deg f
