Another update! So I just tried everthing out, but I'm not quite sure how to cool down the CPU. I tried to blow in air to from behind on the heatsink, drag out the air in the PSU and then duct the whole thing, but it left me with a idle temperature around 55-65 degrees C. When I tried to duct the C...

Hi again! I've been busy with a lot of school work recently, but today I finally got some time to work on my case again. So it's update time! After some measurements, I realised that it was actually possible to fit a 120 mm fan in the back. Since I was all out of cut blades for the dremel, I used th...

Put it so the hard drives are perpendicular to the airflow: http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/4964/58142768.jpg Putting the air intake on the bottom will reduce the chance of noise escaping directly out of the front from the hard drive. In addition the air doesnt have to turn 90 degrees through the ha...

Heh, first of I found out that they're are selling some Nexus Real Silent 120mm 22,8dBA here in Sweden. I guess I'll buy 2 of those for my case. Any opinons regarding that? You could use something like this to duct the CPU cooler to the rear case fan. I'm sure there are a range of sources for simila...

a mountain/hiking sports shop here had various ropes and elastics if you're looking for more robust stuff. Surely up north there's plenty of wintersports/hiking stores... the stretch magic you can get online/ebay or try some hobby/jewelry store Thanks! I never though of going to a hiking sports sho...

Your cpu HS appears to have an empty fan shroud/body on it, limiting airflow over the HS. Removal will not only help the cpu temps but also decrease case turbulence. This should enable you to slow the fans down more. You suggest removing not only the black empty fan body (which I thought of removin...

Some things you could do are: Suspend the harddrives with elastics (fabrics store for ~20kr). Swap the fans for high-quality, quiet fans like Nexus (~100kr each) which you hardwire to 5V. Swap the PSU fan too. Add sound-absorbing material to flat surfaces like the side covers (~200kr). I've already...

Suggestions on homebuilt (cheap) cooling [UPDATE! 18/3]
Been a while since I last visited this site and I'm so glad that it still exists! I had forgot how much I liked this site. I recently got a new case from a friend of mine and have been modifing it for a day now. I didn't want to buy any expensive pre-built cooling-stuff, so I have just silenced my c...

Btw. What motherbord is it you got there? But now back to the SL version, as mentioned in the other thread you could buy 10 or more at http://tekgems.com/Products/et-13713-fan-d12sl-12.htm With shipping to Germany it would be 5,98$ each. I think it will be about the same with shipping to Sweden. You...

Mei, for quieting Hdds - read/search Silent Storage forum, in particular the sticky ones. Your case looks good for elastic suspension. :wink: I know and i have read it, but i often go to lanpartys, and if i to an example fix elastic suspension, they maybe fall out from it. Im sorry if you can't und...

Change your fans (nexus, panaflo). Remove your side cover fan (leave it open) and put a fan in the back sucking air out. See if that helps at all. You cant by Nexus and Panaflo fans in Sweden (Well you can, but thats very expensive), but ive done some updates with my case, i just need a camera so i...
