lets see your rig - Page 107

Yeah mate, it sucks hot air off the HDD and blows out the front. I drilled a bunch of holes in the front of the PC, its one of those hidden compartment ones, so it gets air out that way if its closed. Its normally open anyway, so not much point in the end I guess haha

Typically when the drives are in the drive bays the front intake will move cool air over them and then port it out the back of the pc.

John Von Trapp · 04-25-2009, 04:41 AM

Yes, but I cant reverse the fan without pulling the cooler apart. And I cant be bothered to do that. I have two intakes, one on the side and one on the top, this is because they are exposed to the coolest air to bring into the case. Then I have 1x80mm on back as exhaust, that Antec twin fan PCI cooler, 2x 80mm fan down bottom of case at front and the one above the HDD. Once I get some fan filters I will be reversing the 80mm and using them as intakes probably.

You fans seem to be blowing all over the place. When you do case cooling the air should be moving in one direction only. This generally is from front to back. The front and side panel are used as intakes , and the top and rear are exhaust. The top is exhaust because it removes the rising heat in the top of the case. This may help

The way you have it now is your pc is intakeing hot rising air and porting it out the front and back , which changes it from one direction into several , causing the airflow to be slower moving in random directions.

I just got a regular old Compaq with Win XP. But a green rope light in it and made 10ft extension to the USB ports so I could put my internet receiver in my window for better signal. Also made some custom speakers and hooked a massive base speaker to it. Other than that, thats it. The ethernet you see going up the wall goes to my 360, which I've yet to succesfully connet to my PC. (made a post about my problem in console gaming section)

Here's my latest incarnation of my case

**emosun** · 05-12-2009, 07:02 PM

yikes!

**stressfreesoul** · 05-14-2009, 02:47 AM

I like the frontal artwork.

Mcninjaguy · 05-14-2009, 04:35 AM

I've never seen a case like that! Nice artwork on the side and I like the fake temp drawing on the front.

**WereBo** · 05-14-2009, 06:36 AM

I like the idea of the handles, for easy carrying

**grimx133** · 05-14-2009, 08:06 AM

Yes, the frontal artwork would go well with the floyd pajamas I'm currently lounging around in.

what's a temp drawing? Everything was done by hand, if you mean its some sort of an applique?

**grimx133** · 05-15-2009, 05:13 AM

I'd guess mac doesn't know the wall eh.

**emosun** · 05-15-2009, 07:00 PM

It hard to tell from the angle but I thought it was like notebook paper with drawings on it.

floydfan · 05-15-2009, 11:46 PM

here's what the front looks like.

Mcninjaguy · 05-15-2009, 11:53 PM

I thought the two hammer's picture was a fake temperature reader!

Does the front open like a door?

floydfan · 05-19-2009, 08:21 PM

yes, the front is a door.
