Thanks for the advice. :D

OK, so I ordered the PC7 (although I haven't actually received it yet) which comes with two system fans and has the potential for another fan to be fitted at the top of the case. Since the Gigabyte K8NS nForce3 (Socket 754) Motherboard that I have has only one system fan connector on it, how am I supposed to power the three fans? :confused:

Thanks in advance!
 
The fans on the PC-007 came with Molex adaptors, so no problems, I just connected one direct to the PSU and the other to the mobo.

Now I've just bought a 80mm Asaka Amber to mount on the blow hole but I'm not sure how to fit it correctly. The mounting holes on the fan don't have a thread inside them. So am I supposed to forcefully screw the supplied screws in to the holes, cutting a thread as they go in? If so, what a terrible design! Please tell me I'm doing something wrong!

Cheers

Thats how you do it, how its been done since the stoneage / early 90's.

All fans are like it :)

Jesus wept, with something as high tech as a PC, you'd think they could provide them with a thread. :p
 
Now the decision is whether to use the Amber to suck air in to the case, or to blow air out.

I'm leaning towards using it to suck air in, as I have the 12cm fan at rear blowing air out, the internal fan on the PSU blowing air out and only the 12cm fan on the front sucking air in, but a lot of that airflow is blocked by the 3 HDDs in front of it.

What do you think?

:confused:

If it blows downwards SOMETIMES it can stop the flow of air through the case, and cause a heat pocket.

SOMETIMES.

Cool (excuse the pun!).

Thanks for all your advice Yewen. I'm very pleased with the PC-007. :D

Now if only I could find a 12cm blue LED fan that I could easily switch on and off the LEDs, then it would be perfect!

AC Ryan Blackfire fans have independently adjustable LEDs so you can turn them on and off. It also means you can vary the speed of the fan without dimming or brightening the LEDs.

Build quality redefines the term shoddy though.

Is there an on-off switch on the casing of the fan for each of the 4 LEDs?
