Yea both methods are fine... I just prefer my method better because it doesn't look as cramped. Have you ever seen a HX1000 in this case? The connectors on the back of it just barley touch the metal of the fan support. To me that just takes away from the clean look. I like to have a bit of space. Ha...

or perhaps you can save money by not needing to buy another fan or flat sata wires which fit awkwardly. Simply do the mod which anyone can do and it will look much cleaner as well as allowing you to fit things in which much better ease. Here is the mod in full as I did... http://good-times.webshots....

I have a 620hx installed and yes its a tight fit but regardless. I am considering this mod especially for the fact that newer videocards are more wattage demanding especially the 4870x2. I currently have a q9550 oced to 4.0 and a gtx260. I can still run the 4870x2 with this processor no problem. It'...

This system always runs at stock. Here are the specs for the hardware...

There are 2 aspects involved in this.. silent and noisy which I accept. The upper compartment has a total of 5 120mm fans which are the 2 intake/2 exhaust + 1 120mm CPU. The Cpu fan is also another SFF21F which I failed to mention in my first post. :( The only fan in the upper compartment that's act...

I think that my setup is keen. First off, I cut the metal out for both front intakes and removed the filter for the upper intake but, kept on the filter for the lower intake because I run the bottom 2 fans 24/7 which I explain in the 'Lower Compartment' section.
