I've been working on this case for over a year and half now, slow work, and doing things multiple times until I get it right.

recently my girlfriend repainted my side panel for me.

[Cyberwiz01]

thats a nice looking case. And i love the handles. Computer cases need handles! Anyways good job. And that sucker must be LOUD!

[Phugbox]

actually it's not that loud, my switch is louder.
not as loud as it used to be definitely

but yeah there is some noise, mostly rushing air noise, no whining.

i like it looks good

[Crazy Jayhawk]

Some wire grills would look nice on those front fans. Looks good!

[Wiseass]

wow thats alot of fans lol.

I agree tho put some grills or something over those front fans :)

I like it

[Phugbox]

well, I don't have any 40 mm wire grills though I'd love to put some on.

in the meantime, I just have to stay awake because if I'm not paying attention when I go to open a cd rom or something I get buzzed


anyone willing to help a guy in toronto gt his hands on 6 40mm wire grills

[Steve978]

take the plates for the drive bays drill a load of holes in a nice pattern or use a dremel and cut a nice pattern and stick that on the front. Itll look alot better than grills

[Skiing Squirrel]

Very nice. I love the fans. :) good job.

instead of grills use sheet medal or some thin metal and cut out some flame designs and out that over your fans it will go wuth you flame side

[SniperXX]

I like the front fans. Case looks cool.

[BlueWraith]

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a spare 40mm fan w/ rpm woulda ya? :D My northbridge fan is dying and has a date with the trashcan as soon as I can get a replacement.

[madcow235]

Why not get a few 80mm grills and use them instead

that will drastically reduce my airflows, and desides, I do like the look of wire grills. and it'll keep the them going.

as for using 80mm fan grills, won't work so great, sure in theory one would cover 4 of them, that leaves 2 and not to forget that there are spaces between them so one 80 wouldn't even fit on 4.

oh well, I don't mind

When I had fans in the front of my case, I found a little 'cage' thing in my brother's room. It was off of some toy or something, but it was basically wire (like a coat hanger) weaved together. It looked something like this...

_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_
_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_
_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_
_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_

And so on....it was already painted black, so it went well with my case, and it didn't look all that bad. The best part was, it fit perfectly, it was exactly 80mm tall, and exactly the width of my case.
