the obvious way to make the system totally quiet...is to use it as it was intended..stick it in another room, or a "server closet" that has adequate ventilation, and use another quiet computer as your desktop machine, use the server as a server. don't tell me you use this to surf the net and email.....

i have the 8600gts passively cooled gigabyte card. it draws about 75 watts it occupies 2 complete slots, and you want good airflow in your case. the picture you have posted is the 8500 model, not the 8600 model. from a recent review article "NVIDIA suggests that GeForce 8600 GTS complete system will...

I offer the following suggestion: Norco DS-1210 or Norco DS-1220 these are rack mountable cases that hold 12 drives (firewire or sata hookup to main computer) the only down side is the noise of the cooloing fans (they are rated at total of 100CFM), which are 3 noisy little buggers.... i replaced the...

if all you want to do it mount your Nexus fans with rubberize/silicone mounts..no need to cut anything..
just get the nexus silicone mounts..they have a long "teat" that will fit through the case just fine..they work very nicely
