Loud due to the fact that I had 6x120mm yateloons @ full speed around 1300RPM, on a MCR320 internally in a CM Stacker 830. At the peak of its magnificence, the rig had a total of 10 fans (6 on rad, 1 back, 1 top, 2 side panel), two mcp350 pumps, one MCR320: Watercooling 2x3870 CF, a s939 FX60 @ 3.2G...

DONE!

MMMMM, looks great, sounds like nothing; which is great. :D All now I need to find is a slim fan to put in front or under these guys because the PSU behind em is hogging all the cold air and heating em up :( Anyone know of a good 120mm, 90mm or 80mm fan that is very thin? Oh, resulting pics (500GB a...

Well, Thank you very much for the Walmart suggestion. I went there and bought myself some canopy ties, which seems to be the right stuff (polyester and rubber/elastic)\ About 0.3~0.4 cm in diameter. It's like a mini bungee cord :D http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1740/picture001wwc.jpg I looked at t...

Quick google search has shown me that the closest store to my
residence is 6~7km away and is not even a Fabric store, more of
a upholstery / furniture store :roll:

None was to be found :lol: What are some large franchise names for fabric retailer/store? (In Ontario, Canada. Also more specifically in the Greater Toronto Area/Missi...

Which of these materials should I use to Suspend HDDs?

I know elastic material utilized in the elastic suspension guide is cheap enough; problem is "accesibility". I can't find any place around where I reside that has some sort of elastic cord / string. So I'm left to my own devices. Ok, what I have on me currently is: 1) 2x2m jump rope that is consiste...

How do you remove the Mini P180 5.25 bay vented doors?

From the Mini P180 review from Silentpcreview,
it was stated that if one wants better airflow with
the front door closed, it is wise to remove the
vented bay doors.

How do you remove them?

I don't want to break anything btw :lol:


Thank you for the help :wink:

I have a Mini P180 currently, and from the looks of it,
200mm fan's mounting is proprietary...

I know of another person who has this case, and he
had to just get rid of the 200mm fan and make holes
for 2 x 120mm fans himself (which doesn't look as
aesthetically pleasing)
