@Bruuce Thanks for the gracious answer and the additional info. That has to be fun; walking into a LAN party with a sleeper. Wrily

Thanks for the worklog and answering those questions: blacking the edge and fan on the outside. Great job. After looking at the finished project I'm wondering if the side panel still goes on and if that was part of the plan all along?

@Bruuce Nice work on that hole; it looks like it belongs there. Did you blacken the edges before you installed the mesh? I noticed in your other photos that your rear fan is mounted outside. I'm sure you've got a reason and I'm anxious to hear it. The holes I've cut didn't need any...

@Bruuce, Have you cut your hole yet? What size did you end up with? I ask because 120mm is the size of the frame at the outside, the fan itself measures 114mm . Neither of the two holes in the A05 is quite 120mm, more like 116mm. All hole saws make holes slightly larger than their...

I've used a hole saw with good results but I've had a lot of experience with them(Industrial Electrian). Go slow; especially as the pilot bit breaks through. If you go fast and the hole saw teeth grab you'll bend the pilot bit (and maybe sprain your wrist). It will still cut the hole but it...

That sounds plenty big enough for the BS-03 but after seeing how to make one myself, thanks again for the link, maybe that space would handle a 140mm fan.

tobiath, Thanks; I like the idea of building my own. My case should be here tomorrow and I'll be able to figure out what I need.

I followed that link and they are using a 120mm fan. Did I miss something?

Martmann, Thanks for the reply. I thought I'd read every page in this thread but somehow missed that one. Do you think that BS-03 would fit a 5.25" opening in the front of the case; maybe behind a BZ-501 bezel?

Martmann, I just ordered one from Newegg. I've been following this thread for awhile now and also saw your photos on Webshots. What is the part number of the pem nuts you used for your HDD cage? What thumb screws did you use? And did you ever solve the unreversible fan/BS-03 dilemma? Thanks...

I think Newegg is high on the fan price too; take a look at these. http://www.xoxide.com/120mmfans.html The shipping is reasonable, also, with discounts for mutiple items.

Hi, Here is a good guide to OC: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1198647 All you need to get a 1:1 ratio is to set your Dram freq. at twice your FSB. That 1.424V is pretty high. Is that what you set in Bios or at idle or under load? Let us know how that works.

Here are the results from my tests running an E2180: Bios setting: 1.30V, @idle: 1.26v, @full load: 1.22 Bios setting: Auto, @idle: 1.16v, @full load: 1.24 The results were the same running FSB 200x10 for 2GHz and FSB 350x8 for 2.8GHz. Draw your own conclusions. Hope this helps.:)

Hi all, I've read almost the whole thread now and haven't seen this issue yet. I'm getting Vcore spikes up to 1.75v that last 5 to 10 secs. I have Vcore set @1.35v in bios and reported @1.31 in CPU-Z. This is happening several times an hour but doesn't seem to affect anything except for throwing...
