http://www.mnpctech.com/SonexWilltec.html for $8 a sheet
but each sheet is 24 x 15 is 360" square
Sonex Willtec back in stock by this time next week.

I buy it directly from illbruck's manufacturing plant in Minneapolis and haven't had a moment to get over there. I've scheduled a pick-up this Friday :D
My store page will change back to the White colored version shown here.

I'm dropping the Sonex Mini (grey foam) and going back to Willtec version because of its better Class 1 fire rating.

After Loyd Case's review of my VA3000 mod package extremetech I had to use all of my store inventory of Willtec in customer cases.

i always liked skulls, and tho my teenage heavy metal / hardcore / headbanging :twisted: years are long gone, i still feel atracted to such anatomical details - nice job!

btw - is it a revoltec 3,5' controller? sure looks good, but... does the pwm work ok for you? i mean, your fans are compatible with it?

I use the Mitron Noise Isolator VR Fan Speed Controller 3.5"

Works great. Yes, they are compatible.

I've never RMAed a single unit in the 3 years I've been installing them.

Gotta ask where you got that fan controller and how much was it. If it actually fits inside the front door of the Tt Tsunami than I want one, its really hard finding a controller to fit inside the door.

Sick looking case, I still need to dremel out the restrictive fan grills on my Tsunami. That'd mean taking my system down for a day or to though.

Well, if you really like skulls, work has commenced again on Psychosis now that we're settled into our new workshop.

Work can finally commence again now that we're all settled into our new workshop.

I started my worklog in our Workshop Forum
