I put a 120mm Sunon 108cfm fan in the side for intake, and an identical fan in the top for exhaust. Loud as heck (43dba each fan) but it cools well. It dropped my motherboard temperature to 22c idle. Thats only 2 degrees Farenheit above room temperature!! Also lowered my CPU temp about 5c idle. Will put some pictures on tommorow.

After I was bitten buy the mod bug, I was then infected by the Silence bug. An even more expensive bug that made me silence my computer while maintaining cool temperatures.

The MOD bug came and went, but I feel a case of the overclocking bug coming on. Here are some pics.

Pics didn't come up. Might want to try again. By the way, what did you use to make your cuts?

Pics work fine for me, anyone else having problems? I used a jigsaw that is like a portable hand jigsaw. My friends dad helped me since he has an entire workshop in his basement.

Try these:

very nice. clean and minimalist while still maintaining of image of "this is my own. I made it my own"

I have the same fan as an intake for my modded case, and you're right. It is loud as heck. I couldnt hear my Delta Screamer over it.

I would rather hear this fan than a screaming delta. I find a vaccuum cleaner to be a more pleasing noise than a hairdryer. LOL
