Yeah shaggy, i know. my friend has the same case and the fans sux. Very low air flow, but guess what, i got that covered too !

I got this one without the psu cuz i don't need it, so it was cheaper. $32 @ newegg.

Nice choice LT , Enjoy

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Wed Aug 07, 2002 11:37 pm

Thanx Hybrid, will do !

Yeah Cy, it's pre-modded with the fans. Fans are included. This one does'nt come with the psu so it's cheaper. The one with the psu goes for about 12-15 dollars more ( i think).

Check it out, first one on the list :http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.a ... 524&DEPA=1

Don't know if you noticed but the 2 buttons on the left side are fan controls, Normal or Turbo. I like that. Temp gets up at all hit the turbo button.

I've got that case, i modded it all to bits, and its the uber-cooler case now

Here are some mods i did to it......

http://www.reviewnation.com/a_airholes_1.shtml

http://www.reviewnation.com/a_fanholes_1.shtml

Threw a 120mm fan in the front, modded the back fan grills, replaced a few fans.... it was a good time!!!

Also, good choise on the AX-7 HSF... We reviewed that here:
http://www.reviewnation.com/r_ax7_1.shtml
If ya wanna read it..... I'm also testing out the new SLK-800 right now and should have a review up ASAP on that - looks to be a great HSF just like the AX-7!

Hey void, that's exactly what i did to my main and i'm doin it to my new case as well! Gotta have air flow!!

Hey Hybrid, here, take a peek:http://www.directron.com/t4lcd2.html

The digi-nurse only has one digital display which i'm taking out of it's housing and mounting in the spare floppy drive slot . I gotta do some modding for it to look perfect. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my rigs

After i get all my parts and the case, i'm gonna paint the case after i do the cutting and moddings. Then i'll put evrything together. It's gonna be sweeeeeeeeet !

I can hardly wait !

Thats sweet , Never seen those. Cool Sh*t

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Thu Aug 08, 2002 1:09 am

yeah, it fits right in a spare 5.25 bay , attach the sensor probes to whereever you want to monitor the temps from. i usually put them to the cpu, vid card and case that way i got my eye on all 3 temps!

hahaha, im a cooling FREAK!!! If a case looks cool like nothing else, but doesnt have the cooling, i'll ditch it... or mod it to pieces and see what i can do about that..... haha.... Its a great case if ya mod it a bit for somt frontal airflow....

What they don't think of.

Shagster · Post by **Shagster** » Thu Aug 08, 2002 1:14 am

If you are looking for a bad ass case but are on a budget so can't get super high quality, then get one from http://www.colorcases.com

God, i sound like a spammer!

v0id · Post by **v0id** » Thu Aug 08, 2002 1:14 am

Also could look at sumthin like this for fan contolling.....

For real Hybrid !

Hey void, wish i had pics of my main so you can see my job. i had to cut thru that plastic face cover! There were no holes to drill and make bigger so i cut right thru ! I cut that metal too in the case and added a nice grill to the outside. it looks tight as hell too! Of course gotta have an 80mm 42cfm fan. Plus i cut a hole in the left side for a 80mm 42cfm and a 92mm blowhole with a 52cfm panaflo. This dam box did'nt have a rear port either! No space for it, so i cut an ublong hole and added 2 60mm @ 32cfm each for the exhuast. Works perfect ! Added some rubber door molding to cover the edges and a pair of grills. Talk about airflow! My box sounds like a turbine engine!!

On the bottom of the cpu core with thermal tape. Under the cpu between the cpu and socket.

nice LT...good choices bro..i hope you enjoy em

Shagster · Post by **Shagster** » Thu Aug 08, 2002 1:25 am

is there a device that plugs into your power supply and has a couple of 3 pin/molex attachments so you can turn fans on and off individually?

Already made though

A fan or two and a screen would be nice
