Kingwin Fan Replacement

[Intelligence3]

Does anyone kknow of a reason why I couldn't replace the stock fans on a Kingwin KT-436-WM Case?

 

[Blurry]

Be more specific...are you trying to get a warranty on the fans, etc

No, I was considering purchasing one, and was wonderiung if I could/should upgrade to vantec stealth fans over the generic fans included wioth the case.

Does anyone have one of these kingwins? I just want to be sure there is nothing unusual about the fans (size, mounting, connectors) that would prevent me from replacing them with "known quantity" fans such as Vantec Stealth fans. Every review I see says the stock ones seem okay, but they all also express qualms about the generic fans nonetheless.

Haha.. i'll answer. I have the black one with the 3 windows. So much lighter than my old case when I lug around for the lan party thing.

About the fans, well there 80mm fans that can easily be replaced. I bought all new fans for it and put them in easily. The case doesn't use screws but not sure how to explain. Its a peice of rubber holding the fan to the case with a plastic center punched thru holding it firmly there. Easy job to do.

Side note* I'm having a hell of a time finding a radiator to fit in the front area below the 3 1/2" cage. errggh
I'm about to volt mod all the fans for 7v operation except the intakes which are vantec stealth fans.

Thanks for the reply.

By "radiators" do you mean CPU coolers? What ones have you tried?

By radiators, I mean I'm building a watercooling setup using this case. Radiator/heatercore

Its better than may old tornado 1000 case by its being way more lighter. And I get the "how cool" facter whenever I lug it somewhere to play games or aid in fixing peoples computers. Right now trying to spruce it all up with LED fans, UV ccl's, and making it silent as possible with no loss of cooling.
