Hey just got finished putting some 80mm ones into Big Blue they look pretty good. You will notice that I broke off that Purple Handle on the fan holder. I think it looks better broken off.

How many, and where did you place your CCs?

**mrspm2003** · 09-15-2002, 09:04 AM

looks sweet, why not paint the inside of the case black? That would go w/ blue pretty good

3-Fans (See PIC), 1-CC (Bottom), I don't think Black would be good for the inside. Thanks..

Shame they don't make Blue Motherboards. THEN Big Blue would be complete

Although, I have seen a tutorial about painting PCB's with plain ol' Auto paint. Didn't harm to board (it was a SBLive!) at all. Think about trying that?

I was goign to get those fans, they are beutifull: just too expensive, and don't blow enough air.

Gigabyte makes blue MoBos... But we don't want to sacrifice looks for performance, take it from me. Although my GigaByte board hasn't given me any problems, I still would prefer a faster board. Looking good as usual TAZTG!

I have the 2-92mm in front, and the 120mm on top. I was concerned about the Volcano 7 keeping the CPU with the fan but I am not OC and don't really use it for gaming anymore. They do blow 32 still which isn't to bad. Thanks G33K..

Hmmmw wouldn't auto paint insulate the PCB and create heat problems? I'm sure there has to be some kind of downside to painting it.

Metku does't say any negative things, so I can only take their word for it. In that article, they only do the top side (because you don't see the bottom), but they do mention about protective laquer used for PCB.

I have an extra TNT2 M64 and an old half-duplex soundcard that's gathering dust, so I think I might try the top and bottom if I have the time and the funds in the future. Right now I'm pouring every cent of my budget into polishing off Swordfish, so don't expect me to do it anytime soon.

are you talking about this?

**CrawlingEye** · 09-16-2002, 03:20 AM

I prefer the UV fans over them, but I don't think I'll be using any due to the fact that they're not practical for me. I prefer the Tornado's at 84.1CFM over the UV sensitive's at 30CFM.

here's a pic for everyone:

You basically just posted the same URL (save the WWW), so yes, I'm talking about that

Very cool Taz, too bad they're not very high Cfm fans.
