I bought both 80's and 120's and like them. No discernable bearing noise and a great price. What's not to like?

Love the long vertical hard drive rack; stack them anywhere you want :D

And 92's in front is plenty; use two slow L1's if one isn't enough.

Looks good. I hope it comes with a usable filter :?:

There's a number of ways to do it. My method has been to install grommets in the screw holes. Hog out the holes to accept the grommets and secure the fan with machine screws. I already had some spare grommets but you can pick them up at common home centers like Lowe's (in USA) or an auto parts store...

I receintly bought a Compucase 6919 which is identical as your 6920 except for a different bezel. It seems to be a fine case with excellent airflow. I punched out the fan grills, rubber mounted the fans and installed a 120mm Yate Loon in the back and a 80 L1 Panaflo in the front blowing on my hard d...

From what I've read, it has a backboard 120 and two 80's in front.

I don't think that case is available w/o the window :x

Maybe get the 120/80 version and expand the rear hole? Looks like there's plenty of room back there but I'm not sure.

Been toying with this idea myself.

My suggestion is to mod the back of your case to accept a 92mm fan. A 120mm fan would be better but it will not fit in your case without some inventive modding.

Good luck.

The silver portion of the front bezel seperates quite easily once the small I/O panel door is flipped down. This insert is hollow and about 1" thick; has a nice screened filter on one side and the louvers on the other side. I can't understand why anyone would want to hack this thing up to try to mak...

Get the black one from Directron, the cost difference is significant. I also was hesistant about the bezel but the silver bezel looks better in person than it looks in the photo. It would look good with a silver fan speed controller :lol: I bought a Compucase 6919 from Servercase. Very similar to th...

I think the only difference between those two cases is the bezel style. Very nice case by the way :D

Front air flow?

I'm considering getting one of these cases but the lack of airflow from the front has me worried. From the photos that I've seen, the intake slots on the bottom of the bezel are small and the USB header PCB blocks a good portion of the slots :( I was thinking about relocating the USB header up to on...

isellsurplus Yate Loon's

Got around to installing my $7 Yate Loon's today and I'm quite impressed. They don't move a whole lot of air but are VERY quiet. I clipped off the 4 pin connector and mounted one on an XP-120. My A64 3200 temp top out at 53C as measured by my MSI 8KN FSR. Installed a second one in the backboard of m...

isellsurplus.com

I ordered some of these fans and isellsurplus took five days to ship. Very poor performance in my book. :oops:

Not a deal breaker but be warned not to be in a hurry from these guys.

Another good choice

Compucase/HEC LX-6A19 which is almost identical to the Antec SLK3000 on the inside. http://directron.com/cslx6a19bl.html $36 + shipping I receintly bought a Compucase 6919 and like it ($45 + shipping). It's larger than the 6A19 but the version I bought takes 80's up front. http://www.servercase.com/...
