cooling...

[FerrariF50]

Ok this is like a half case mod half cooling thing here...

I want to put maybe 4 fans lined up in the corner of the case..... If i'm right they should be blowing air in the case and not sucking it out..... I just have to find the right size fans and I need to get a dremel to do the case with.

Cases have a bunch of corners dude. ;) But, try and equalize the air flow through your case. If you have an 80mm fan taking air in, put another blowing air out. The real question is where to put them where they'll be the most effective. I'm currently toying with making panels from "Illustration board", before i make any cuts into my panels. It's a "cheap" way of finding the right spots for my fans before I go and cut into a real panel. I have 1 spare panel I grabbed from my RMA dept at work that I can do dry run on, but I'm hesitant to cut into that. I like having spare stuff so if anything does go horribly wrong, I can still have a "normal" case.

I'm with CrystalMethod. You always want equal CFM coming in & out of the case. The trick is being able to find a smooth airflow.

well I can't put a fan at the top of the case..because under the caseing it's self is the metal shell of the case... looking at the case in the front I can only put fans on the left side the right side holds the motherboard which has a metal backing.

How about a drawing. We can probably communicate better that way. The fans in front & on top of the MoBo are for intake & the top & rear fans are for exhaust. Blue boxes are fans. If it's confusing it because I did it in MSPaint within a minute:eek: Make a drawing of your case then let's see what we can come up with.

Like I said just make sure you have the same CFM coming in as you do going out. Different sizes have different ratings so a little addition would help out. Your just gonna have to mod it to add fans. Metal aint that hard:D
