Once again I have to say, you've done an awesome job. Can't wait to see it painted. You have a router? Routering those edges would make for a nice effect, I'd think.


Eric
they're the ones off the thermaltake armor side panel.

The hard drives, 120mm, and 80mm fans are louder than the side fans. I got a speed controller on the 120 and 80 fans though, so only the hard drives are loud.

That said, the case is under a massive vacuum right now, the 80's can't keep up with the 200 and something CFM i'm flowing through the 120 and 250's, even with most of the PCI slots and the CD door open. That's why getting the case slotted is such a big prriotity- the PSU has absolutely NO air moving through it, even with both pusher and puller fans.

For proper support: what are you running? video card, cpu, m/board, ram, power supply, brand, wattage, any error message?
Will this PSU run my card? If you're having to ask, it probably won't. PCI-E requires 26 amps at 12 volts. That's a 650W PSU. Power Supply Info and Selection
Why is my CPU hot? Info on thermal compounds & application
