Just managed to pick myself up a new Antec P160 and was wondering if anyone had the same case and could give me any advice on how to kit it out for fans or if the temp probe should attach to my CPU and graphics card instead of my CPU and HD?

I bought it for the top usb/audio and temp display which is easier for me as my case is down below me on my desk but I was thinking if adding a fan controller with or without temp display and would it be benificial, like to keep my X1800 XT cool? And as its got 2 120mm fan connectors, if its possible or worth putting more in?

Not a massive overclocker but do game a lot so keeping everything nice and cool is a big bonus.

Just any advice really from any owners of the case or similar
 
hey i have a p160 but geting rid of it as i dont care for the looks

but

i have an x2 3800 with an arctic cooler runs at 29c load and a 7800 ggtx xtreme that hits 65 gaming, this fitted with a an xcelero 1

also have 2 akasa ambers with a fan controller (Akasa AK FC-03 Fan Controller Pro (OA-002-AK) )
, even with all fans set to lowest speed pc i only get the above temps, and the only reason i replaced the case fans is the old were too loud for me.

with the 4 temp probes from the controller and 2 from the case

i have

cpu
hdd
psu
case

all on the controller as they are presets

and

gpu
memory
on the case probes

only problem i have with the case is if u need to mess with the cd drives, i got to pull the front off and they have silly mounting slider things that i dont like, the front panel dont come all the way off cos of the led wires goin to the front 2 lights so u got to balance it right an carful not to nock it an rip the lights out completly.

so in concluding

good case with only 1 flaw really

hope it helps and i didnt jus talk nonsence
