It looks messy but the cables are all squished at the back, there is a huge bulge on my right side pannel. Air circulation is perfect though, absolutely no obstructions. (pic is roughly 2 months old, don't have the bottom HDD anymore) [img]http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr98/mfb412/DSCI0052.jpg?t=1264376146[/img]

[QUOTE=rampageturke;19831871]why so many fans on the cpu cooler?[/QUOTE] It increases the static pressure on the cooler. More static pressure works better on high performance coolers with thinner fins, the TRUE is a good example. It is also the reason that people use 38mm deep fans for certain coolers. They have deeper fins so they can more efficiently move air, so they are used for quiet systems. The same RPM fans can move more air. I wish I could use the 3000rpm Ultra kazes but they are too loud for me, the 2000RPM ones are a great balance with 90 cfm at 30 dbs.

Because the both spin at different speeds that is going to cause a wash effect that is going to significantly cancel out a measurable portion of the airflow.
Not if the fans are skeletons. If they were that would be logical.

I got a question for you guys with the fans on the bottom of the case are you guys using it as exhaust or intake? It wouldn't make much sense to use as intake as you would be negating the GPU's fan airflow

The GPU takes air from the intakes you're supposed to have in front of your harddrives, and blows it out the back. The fans on the bottom are always intake, which gives the GPU colder air to work with.

It would make more sense to use them as an intake, so it blows air up to the graphics card, as the graphics card will then take that in and blow it out the back.

[QUOTE=Ajacks;19834663]Skeletons?[/QUOTE] You have one physical fan that pushes/pulls and then you tape fan shells without any fan inside to it to act as a kind of ducting.

Corsair XMS2 ram. I think a few of the XMS2 and XMS3 series have LEDs on them that indicate activity. Ballistix Tracer RAM has lights on it that indicate activity too.
i use zippie ties
I need to do some cable management in my PC. I just may be arsed to do it tomorrow after I get home from school. Plus, I really need to figure out how to fix one of my Case fans; because I accidentally ripped out the 4 Pin connector when I was installing my GTS 250. Any suggestions?
