I ended up putting the PS in the front.......Also, I have a 120 mm grill in the mail, I won't leave that open like that on top. =]

Temps look like 5-6 degrees cooler on idle, so far anyway.

Yeah, it's a Black & Decker I got at Home Depot, 30 bucks!! Course the special blades I had to get for cutting metal was 5 or 10 I think.......But still.....
 
HaHa, go for it!! They had the Dremmel tool? (not sure what it is called, but seems like people use it) That thing was like 60+ bucks. Not including add ons you need for it. I said screw that & got a jigsaw. =]
 
hmm looks ok i guess. man how that case ended up like that . Your case does lok big enough for a better mounting.
Anyway as long as it works, you should be happy
 
What do you mean? It's fine.........Best place I could mount it. about 5º-6º or more lower temp.
 
next time put some tape around the metal guard on the jigsaw.
that way you wont scratch the paint off.
 
Yeah........Really was not thinking.............Oh well, adds character. =]
 
Looks better now =]

Nothin like a little touch up to make it prettyyy..

why did you choose to have the fan blowing in? since the rad is at the top of your case wouldn't it make sense to have it suck? i know the arguments concering suck/blow configs but still..
 
I don't really know, I just left it that way. It's way cooler now the way everything is setup so I doubt it will make much of a difference. I do have the fan shooting down & there is two 80mm fans pulling out right next to the CPU.....Would make sense for circulation.
 
Glad to see you took our advice on the rad mounting ;)

Try having your fan pull. Better airflow distribution throughout the fins. A couple C less is always nice.
