Quick Question guys, its eye tricky to me

[kurabii]

Ok when i first build my HTPC i put the thermaltake blue orb in it.
let me just say. NASTY! kept E6300 running sexy 43o @ 3.2 over a period of
3 days...

but i dont want this damn fan because its Blue and the light kills me in my dorms.
so i kinda wanna switch it for another silent fan.

but the thing is i have the Silverstone GD-01MX case...
and the ac freezer pro looks Gigantic compared to blue orb.

seriously.

im looking at the dimensions too!

my recomendations:

http://www.jab-tech.com/Scythe...PU-Cooler-pr-3854.html

http://www.jab-tech.com/Therma...-MST-9775-pr-3456.html <-- looks okey, definitely better then your orb.

http://www.jab-tech.com/Therma...SI-128-SE-pr-3845.html A lot better then your orb. But check for space requirements.

i'm using the lc-20 case, same dimensions as the gd-01. i had the ac 64 cooler, very similar to the 7. the zalman 9500 i use now works very well with the case, and the light isn't visible. if i were to pick a cooler now, it would be the mini ninja.

You can pull the fan out of the blue orb and cut the little wires to the LEDs.
