ok, i have a chemming clone full tower like the rest of the world for my case. i forgot that it doesnt come with intake fans. i ran my system without any intake fans for months. the CPU temp was at about 45-46 idle most of the time and around 62-63 while gaming (with a slk947 and a SFII). well, without the intakes and the side panel off, i would get temps in the low 30s idle and high 30s VERY low 40 while gaming. with the side panel on and intake fans i would idle in the mid 30's (36-37) and mid 40s while gaming. though i am happy with these temps, i dont like how loud the system is. all the reviews i read about the Xaser III say that the case provides ridiculously good cooling and is very quite. Aesthically, i dont like or dislike the case on way or anoter. what do you guys think about it? which do you guys prefer: blue or black?

Why couldn't you just mount separate intake fans on your current case?
