Okay acrylic windows.. Hmm.. Thinking wether or not it's possible to make the front panel "meshy"...

Yeah I might just do that but scared the cables block since PSU is at the top.. BTW is there any other source of electricity I can opt for fans? My mobo doesnt support many fans :/

well molexes are quite simple really, depends on the fan, most will run on 7v and 12v and u can connect them via 2 wires (3rd is a speed sensor). the diagram below will give u a clearer idea wink.gif

Ok thanks starting to feel this thread is dead already lol..

Hmmm.. If run on 12v isn't it sufficient for only one fan? o.o Sorry I suck at this sweat.gif

And I read somewhere that if we use 2 molex from the same cable for one 6 pin PCIE it will stress the PSU alot since drain from a single rail.. Apply to fans also?

I'm powering 4 fans off from the single 4-pin molex everything is working fine.. fans don't take up a lot of wattahe.. 6-pin pcie power is 75W output IINM and of course u plug them into GPU which normally would suck up lotsa power if its using dual 6pin

follow this step..
1. change colour.flat powder black and some red ati or green nvidia, depend on your rig sutup.
2. cut 12cm hole at top case.
3. cut side hole and put 20cm fan.
4. cooling setup.
a. water cooling for gpu, cpu or both.
b. air coling. make sure use masive cooling like cm v10 for cpu and the gpu use thermaltake or powerfull cooler.
5. buy fan speed control.
6. put fan many this case can take..more its better.
7. lighting. use ccfl ,neon or led. put sound retreck for extra cool
8. powerfull rig
