My P150 Experience & Cleaning
Hi Everyone,
I'm a newcomer here and this is my first post. I consulted this site and forums quite a bit before making a decision to get a P150, and I'm really glad I did. So first I'd like to say thanks to everyone who contributes.
I can say that this is the hands-down best case I've ever owned. I threw some caution to the wind and ignored the warnings about the power supply. Mine worked great right out of the box. The sound properties of the case are pretty outstanding, and coupled with a new Zalman ZF700CU on my XFX 6600GT (which, by the way, has the WORST HSF of any card I've seen) my noise level has dropped considerably. The loudest component in my case at the moment seems to be the CPU fan which is a Zalman CPNS7000. Running at full speed this fan seems to be quite loud now. However, I keep it in check with Speedfan.
Now, on to the most important part of my first post here. While installing the Zalman on the video card, I got some thermal grease on my hand. I didn't notice, and put my greasy paws all over the brushed aluminum front of the P150. Does anyone have an idea of what might remove it? In lots of light, the hand and fingerprints are quite noticable. I've tried using Windex, LCD screen cleaner and Isopropyl Alcohol, to no avail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Besides that, I love of the look and sound of this case.

Maybe something like Goo Gone?

You should be able to find it at a hardware store.

What kind of thermal grease you use?
Anyway if other solutions don't work, consider this ArctiClean which seems to get good praise from many places. I've never used it myself as Isopropyl Alcohol always works for me even on external surface of my LianLi case.
Good luck.
