Put in the two new fans and tidied up the case. Bit disappointed in the new fans I'm fairly sure they're louder than the old ones. They are running at full speed though (1400rpm) is there any way to slow them down without buying a controller? Their a Akasa and Be quite fans. The old fans even had a rattle in them which is why I replaced them.
And the bodge job on the back of the motherboard tray to hold the cooler in place. Had to remove one of the support struts going across the back.

To slow down the fans you can pick up some 12v to 9.5 fan adapters from Peats.I think you can also get some 12v to 7v adapters I think

Nice job on fitting that cooler though 0 -
You could also get out the auld soldering iron and just put in a few resistors onto the fan cable
Messy, but cheap as hell. Loads of guides online too. As for the akasa fans, they state a really low db, but eveyone ive had is always quite loud at full speed. Decreasing their speed to around 1000rpm will significantly cut down the noise of the little feckers.0 -

Cheers for that, shipping is a bit pricey, €14 to ship them across the country? Compared to the price of the little cables and the size of them it's a bit step but prefect for me.

I know am electrical engineer that could help me too, guess I'll do this and buy a fan controller down the line.You could also get out the auld soldering iron and just put in a few resistors onto the fan cable0 -

I think you should get an EvoStream PSU... rated at 55dB. From the far side of a gaelic pitch. Two counties away
Then come back here and call us a bunch of girls while we try to keep straight faces watching all the blood gushing out of your ears!

lol Effluo, that's because you're using the wrong components.
me oul HAF can be the same, particularly if there's a window open you can literally feel the breeze going to the PC. But sure all i do then is just start my i7 doing some FFTs and it turns into a heater. 0 -

He went with a non-standard shape and did it damn well. Ergo, it looks "factory" :P
Only reason to attach the plexi to the inside is if you don't have the tools or skills to make it look 1337 in its own right; if its a quality job it'll look factory regardless of how you attach it 0 -

V Nice work Guys
I myself and building a new Rig here in a couple of weeks based off a CM Storm Scout case, though I am considering ripping out the LED fans and replacing them with Good Fans :P
Might get some White LEDs or Tubes for the inside, as I see way too many Red/Black and Blue/Black cases nowadays, and after seeing how cool the Xigmatek Dark Knight looks with its white LED, I am sold on the White/Black Combo 0 -

Jealous of all the new fangled builds around. Keep getting tempted to upgrade but there's absolutely zero reason...everything I play runs perfectly fine at high-max settings.
At the moment..still the Armour Case. E8600@4Ghz, 4Gb Ram, 1Gb 4890 Vapor X, P5ND 750i, 750w PC P&C Silencer PSU...
If I could choose one upgrade, it'd be case. I really hate it.
Oh...and I need a fan controller big time. At the moment it makes me sad to admit yes, all 4 led fans are....Akasa.

The Megashadow is not as shiny as the flash makes it out to be in real life, kinda a black silk look. Not that heavy either but pretty big as you can see with the Game box in background.0 -
