Solve : new case or not?

1.	Solve : new case or not?
Answer» so with my new upgrade im doing im GOING to ask your opinion if i should change the case or not its modded i think the case window is a bit on the tooooo big side and some of the sides DONT close very well i also think i put too many fans in and there is too MUCH dust and cable managment isnt the easiest thing to do aother then that its great has 2 ccfls el wire wround the window led case feet but its not all metal so i cant spray paint it or anything ill give you some pics the case is totally up to you. we dont know your preferences for case color/design nor do we know what kind of hardware you plan on putting in it. personally, for the case you have now, i think you have way too many 80mm fans. when possible, its best to use 120mm fans. also, the 3 80mm fans mounted on your side panel need properly sized intakes holes; its usually best to carve out the ENTIRE hole and simply mount a metal fan grill over the fan(s) for safety. i never got to that part yet... do you think it looks good or not?Sure...looks good. Quote from: computeruler on July 23, 2008, 05:36:29 PM do you think it looks good or not? in my honest opinion, it looks like a mess. you need to get acquainted with zap straps (aka cable ties). cable management is a pretty big issue with computers, not only do loose, criss-crossed, cables look bad, they also impede airflow. TRY to run all your power cables together as much as possible and try to keep them out of the main airstream. if you have too much slack in your wires wrap them in a neat loop and try to get them out of sight (the bottom of the case and any vacant 5.25" drives are good spots to get rid of wire slack). also, that 12" CC light should be moved to either the top corner of the case or the bottom corner of the case, it looks really bad where it is right now.ya the cable managment i just never really got to that along with the top window/fan and variou other things i agree the ccfls do need to be moved guess ill keep it

the case is totally up to you. we dont know your preferences for case color/design nor do we know what kind of hardware you plan on putting in it.

personally, for the case you have now, i think you have way too many 80mm fans. when possible, its best to use 120mm fans. also, the 3 80mm fans mounted on your side panel need properly sized intakes holes; its usually best to carve out the ENTIRE hole and simply mount a metal fan grill over the fan(s) for safety. i never got to that part yet... do you think it looks good or not?Sure...looks good.
