Lots of water = VERY quiet computer!

How does cleaning up the wiring drop temps? Maybe I should consider doing that...

Sorry...that one's built into the back of the Yamaha burner I figured I void the warranty if I took it out.

Cable obstruct air flow, so having them tied up and out of the way helps with internal airflow. If you can't get them completely out of the way, having rounded cables will help. Air will pass much more smoothly around a round cable rather than the typical flat ribbon IDE cables, and a mass of untied power cables.Garfield said:
3x80mm fans Front Intake (2 on bottom, 1 infront of HD)
2X80mm fans Back Exaust
1X80mm fan on the 8045
1 cheesy "system blower" sucking air off the vidcard
2x80mm fans inside Enermax PSU
Not too loud actually, was expecting it to be alot louder. The Corb was actually the loudest fan for awhile, but either it's settled in or died, haven't really looked. Whenever I get some spare funds, I might look into modding a top blowhole and some side intakes for the vidcard.
Now if I can find that elusive 80mm to 120mm adapter for my Alpha, I'll be able to do some real cooling.

fans
12 to 17
since my rig is under construction right now the number will change soon
1 60mm stock Glaciator 2 (have YS Tech 40cfm but don't use it)
1 92mm side panel duct for cpu YS tech 66cfm
1 80mm side panel intake for AGP/PCI
1 40mm side panel intake for lower PCI cards
1 80mm rear exhaust fan Thermaltake smart fan full speed modded 53 cfm
1 92mm bottom intake for PSU
1 80mm exhaust for PSU
1 80mm front exhaust
1 40mm on NB
1 Blue orb fan in my silver orb
1 tiny fan that came from my GF2 Ti's stock heatsink- I move this one between the SB and the back of my video card... haven't decided where it should go yet... it has rpm monitoring if I plug it into my video card
3 40mm in homemade HDD bay cooler (currently under construction)
1 60mm HDD cooler (not in place yet)
1 80mm slot cooler
and 1 80mm left over which I keep thinking I should cut a hole in the top or side panel for
Most of my fans are generic and many of them were purchased from Goodwill used for $1 each.

2x120mm 85cfm Panaflos push-pull sandwich on the radiator, also providing intake. On Rheostat, running at 11V. Mounted lower front. (counts as 1?)
2x80mm 24cfm (Quiet!) Panaflos on exhaust. Mounted upper rear
1x80mm 24cfm (Quiet!) Panaflo on intake. Mounted on front above 120mm array
1 80mm ~24cfm exhaust on the PSU.
~82cfm in and ~72cfm out
Intake air temp on floor in PC room 17C. Air temp inside case up near top 19C. Water temp writing this post is 19.4C

Edit: No GPU or Northbridge fans. With the big, passive heatsinks I put on them, they run cool.
