Greetings fellow Gothenburger!

That rig looks quite nice, just out of curiousity where did you get those nexus fans? I don't know of any retailer in town, or any postal order place where one can get them.

In any case, I would get rid of the fan grills if at all possible, they block an obscene amount of air.

Interitus: Thank you, I am bery happy over the result of the 2 top 120 mm holes for the radiator.

Qwertyiopisme: You can buy the Nexus hole fans series from GTek.se, they got 80, 92 and 120 mm Nexus fan in stock, and yes i know that the fan grills block an obscense amount of air, but i still want to have them in the top of the case for some protection, going to have the case standig on the floor under my desk. But I do not think you can find the Nexus fans in Gothenburg, i didn't :lol:

You'll also be able to get the nexus fans shipped over from KustomPCs in the UK

I do like that case, very nice. Good work on the top holes as well!
