but after thinking to get 4x8cm fan..my case wud be noisy so me n my fren jibamgodi try to figure out if we able to put 12 cm fan as intake..theres few part that need to be change if wanna use 12cm fan as intake..so we decide to intake from graphic card side since there wud b more suitable cmpare make it at proc side


these the sidepanel window that hv been measure to be cut for 12cm intake fan..put it abit top coz gonna avoid the pci and usb port on mobo..the space abit limited

hehe u c the blowhole been ready to be made..see the machine we been aware coz the sidepanel i think made of plastic..not arcylic..afraid it will broken when cutting process

the cutter start to spinning..haha like spinning gasing

its become faster n faster..the plastic seem melt..trying to hadle it carefully
