Mod question - Where to put a 92mm fan in an sx1030b?

[gdawson6]

Where would be the most efficient place to put a 92mm fan in an antec case? my friend gave me one so im gonna put a blowhole in somewhere...i already have 2 80mm in the front and 2 in the back.

so should i go for a side blowhole next to teh handle or one on the top?

I suggest that you don't add a blowhole.. it will ruin an otherwise perfectly designed airflow setup..

If you really want to use the 92mm it'll fit into the Hard drive fan slot if you reverse the fan bracket on it.. try that..

Considering the new antec cases, which is very similar (if not identical interior-wise) to the sx1030/40s come with a blowhole on the side, (next to the handle)...it probably wouldn't disrupt airflow that much. Also, the alienware (antec) cases have a blowhole in a similar location, so it should provide some benefit in terms of card cooling.

As far as the size goes, i think the oem and alienware use 80mm fans for their blowhole.

I guess it wouldnt help that much, and i was gonna put a window in my case soon too. Ill try putting it in the harddrive spot, and see if it fits good without being loose or anything.

Thanks
