I bought a Cooler Master Elite 333 but i dont know how to put my fan to maximize the air flow.
i willing to make hole into my casing if necessary but not on the side penal.
Here is my casing:





Currently, my idea is this




besides, my graphic card cooler is like this,

i think it will generated a lot of heat in the casing, so can anyone suggest a solution to blow out this heat.

pls suggest anyway u thing that can improve my casing air flow.
it is better if u can drawn and put it here. thanks

u 4gotten ur psu will draw air from inside too.. if can mod 1 120mm fan on the top..

why not drill a hole to that acrylic window,and put 4 fans...2 for intake,2 for exhaust

Oh, i jz know the psu got such effect. i don know how to mod a fan on the top as u suggest. any tool i need besides the drill?

putting fans at the acrilyc seems a good idea for some, but in my view, it is just will spoil the view. if you want to put fans there, make it UV reactive fan and put UV kit also to your PSU and UVCCFL. that will make your case interesting without sacrificing your airflow.

and about 2 in and 2 out, I think just 1 120mm one blowing in is OK at the acrylic, bottom beside the HDD rack. I sugggest that all you drill another hole at the upper casing and that is the outflow. maybe 120 or 80 if the size is not permissible.

because i plan to put some sticker like demon on acrylic window.

put another 80mm or 92mm below ur graphic card and open up all the pci brackets.. let the hot air out... it works on my crappy casing.. & wont spoil ur idea of putting stickers on acrylic window..

somehow i see it like i know who u bought it from lol.. nahh.. maybe just a hunch

where u get the casing bro??

*no wait.. its the casing that i lay on when dissamble battousai stuff
no wonder it look familiar...

advice*

make a blowhole on top panel
tools? dremel better. drill will only gave rigid cutting.. unless u got holesaw.

put one at the bottom of you casing
to intake air

the space on the bottom wont suck in much air unless he change the leg 1st to abit much higher than the current one.

chg casing?

side add 1 intake. up add 1 exhuast.. perfect... ask bro m2n-e to help u do

Added on June 20, 2009, 1:55 pmi afraid the dust will go into casing. if follow ur way, how to prevent the dust from going inside?

Added on June 20, 2009, 1:58 pmya, u are right bro. jz bought this from nice seller.
in between, i am thinking on modding a fan on the top of casing, but i dont like grill, prefer the 'jaring' type steel. need to find it out 1st before i mod.

if u scared dust just get a fan filter and put it in front of those fans lo some are detachable from the holder ones..even better

if scared dust go in can put fan filter...example like this...>>>
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1033201&hl=

ur dust filter is nice. in between got other design or size?

what i mean is to put the fan blowing air out la.. not blowing in.. won have any dust problem.. all u need is to remove the pci bracket.. no modding needed.. save so much time.. it help to remove hot air trap under gc


use dust filter = sacrifice air flow.. depending on how u put it la..
i'm using those steel mesh filters, if u put at the back of the fan, air flow decrease by more then 50%, if put it in front, there will be much more air flow.. (back of fan = whr air flow out..)
thats my experience la.. not sure about other type of filters...

I put the top fan and the back fan all outflow,only front and side inflow....and 1 btm outflow 2.....it make less dust for me and my casing is 30cm-40cm above floor........

Juz make sure ur room or ur pc place clean always lor.....if not, how many fan in out also no use, tats my opinion.....

how about mod to btx style?
hehehe

i see. ur idea is good. will try to apply it to see the effect.
