Couple of Questions
Posted: Fri May 02, 2003 1:32 pm
Hi all,
Been lucking here since the beginning. Finally have the money to do some of the projects I envisioned for my rig. Before going forward, I do have a few questions:
1) When isolating my fans, does it matter whether I use rubber grommets or fan isolators rom Silicon Acoustics? I would assume they accomplish the same thing but do not know for sure
2) I am very much in favor of the D8000 case - it has just about every feature I want. But, it doesn't look like you can remove the case top and bottom. Does anyone know of ATX cases, with 120mm intake & exhausts, that allow removal of case tops and bottoms? Asking because I want to paint the inside of the case and it would make the project much easier.
3) Papst vs. Panaflo. My current system uses all Panaflo's. I have been looking into the Papst 80mm and 120mm fans they seem to offer slightly better performance. I have access to some of these fairly cheap and want to know if the increase CFM on the specs sheets would make that much difference? Anyone done comaprisons between Panaflo L1A's and Papst fans?
I know I have other questions, but I cannot remember them at the moment. Will update when I do...
Thanks in advance fro your replies...
