Definitely it will be better to take off the side panel and put a fan cooling it.

Common lah , brother.

if you want loads of dust inside your case ...go ahead dude.... but trust me you'll get better airflow with your side panel on the case..

All FAQs merged.

nice work

ya, if u open the side panel, it will get more dust go inside ur case, somemore the air flow will becom more worse.
So, better is close the side panel, manage ur cables and make a better air flow...

pls help me. i want to add another fan. how to connect it to mobo?

i using intel d101ggc mobo. the fan i gonna connect is look like this:

not too sure if itll work....but how about clear epoxy?

er..sir, may i ask, what do u mean by "pls add me" ? add u to/for what?

oh sorry. spelled wrong!

How about rivet?

epoxy is something like cement rite but its transparent???

cannot ler the hole is kinda big...dun think rivet can fit

Then clear epoxy will do the trick, most HDIY shop have it

depends on what kinda power socket ur fan is using... if its using the 3pin fan header than u can directly plug in to any free 3 pin fan header on ur mobo.

but if its using the standard 4pin molex. then ur gonna need to plug in to ur PSU. unless of course u cut off the molex and replace it with the 3 pin header.

n btw, picture so small laaaaaaa...how to see ???

usually the branded fans such as CM, TT and Evercool, the fan come with 3pin connector, but package contain the molex converter as well.

and to add the fans, it depends on u, if u want to use the 3pin u can connect it directly to the motherboard if there is/are slot available..

and if u want to use molex, just connect it directly to ur psu..done..

what about the light?

the lights will be connected to a small box (which is the inverter) and in turn the inverter will be connected directly to the PSU

refer to the picture



the box (in the red lined box) is inverter.
as u can see at the upper part of it (green lined circle) is 2 wires connecting to ur ccfl tubes..
while the lower part (yellow lined circle) is a wire to connect to ur psu..
well, usually it connect to pci controller/switch first then it goes to psu..

got it?

PS - if the picture is not clear enuff, u may want to zoom it at the inverter part..
