lmao, poor guy, I know how you feel. Once my new tower gets here I'll be moving to some nice quiet 120mm fans...maybe my hearing will return?

i am goin for a different look :p
 
youl notice the difference thats for sure :D I used to run 7x 80mm tornados and 1x 92mm tornado at full blast in my old xaserIII tower (looks at rank) ;)
 
Personally I was really disappointed in my TJ-06.
Construction, fit and finish were beautiful but cooling left a lot to be desired.
Tried replacing the stock fans with the clear SilentX and temps soared. :bang head
Finally used some Thermaltake A2018s to cool it down but still a major hot spot in the HDD cage area. Even after adding an exhaust fan on the PCI slots.
