My room would get hot as hell when I come home so I blamed it on my old case and it's inability to move heat around so I bought a new case!
Here's the old one -
Went and bought Aspire X-Dreamer II
3x Panaflo 80mm
1x Panaflo 80mm
Vantac Nexus Fan Controller
Loom Wire
Zip Ties
Here it is now in the new case, cover moved off (sorry, 1st picture I took with the camera so it's pretty bad)
Some angles -
The front -
Everything -
Disabled the front LED's since it doesn't look good with lights in the front only. The only real thing I modded I guess would be the single pull double throw switch I added in the back. They are hooked up in a series with the 2 front stock fans that came with the case, choices are 6v or off. Crammed most of the wires to the back of the case so it's out of view. 8 fans total, if all on high it's not that loud. when silenced it's barely noticable 10 feet away!
Things I learned - 1) when messing around with the PSU, make sure the power is off. First time I got shocked, man was it wierd! 2) computers are not rounded inside, I got cut a lot 3) Wiring isn't that hard, I can't believe I've been lazy for 5 years, not redoing my wires
