I just got my windtunnel fans in, and I got one of them mounted.
check out the size of this thing next to my 2 80mm.

I have 3 more to mount but I don't think I'm going to put them all on this case.

at least one more is going in the bottom front to get rid of my ugly case mod:)

235 cfm blowin in, all my 80's blowin out:)

the one thats going in the front will be blowing out also

oh yeah what'd you use for power? I'm guessing of just cutting and splicing a regular HDD power plug adapter and using that?

Or is there something special I have to do?

all I did was connect a red and black wire drill another hole, and splice into the 80's that were already there.

its not really that loud either, it sounds like the delta 38 hit puberty:)

I haven't had the time to really test it by gaming, "since I was up till 3am moding it:)" but it still idles at 26C and doing norton virus scan and websurfing it hit 31C.

I know I need to pull some more air out, I'm going to cut the bottom fan out and place another monster fan down there pulling air out.

I also put on the Borb along with duel 80mm card blower and the cyclone under it pullin out on my Herc profit 2gts. I had my ramdac hittin 420 and still had alot of room to spare:) I wish I had something to get a good temp reading.

Gotta be pretty loud, but you get used to it. Either that, or we're all going deaf. I kinda like the hum. every so often when I get back from work, I'll stand outside my room with the door still closed, and listen to my system hum, for about 5-10 secs. I just like the sound of it.
