...Or in it?


I just wanted to brag to someone :). I cut out a blow hole in my window for my 120mm Delta (@ full RPM it puts out 130CFM, I have it around 1/3 the speed still pushing atleast 40-50CFM) It's directly over my Zalman 7000, memory and videocard. It dropped my Idle temps from 44ºC to 39ºC. About to test full load! Woohoo! Not bad for a 30 minute project :D

but now i got a new case with a window.. so it would look ugly if i stuck a huge fan on there..

Lol, it's in a windowed case. It's not like I'm going to be bringing my case to a beauty comp. anytime soon :). Besides, it doesn't look so bad. I was lucky, though. I cut the whole without measuring to make sure it cleared everything....such a perfect fit! I forgot that it's 38CM deep :) heheh. Very tight fit, but none-the-less, it fits!.
