Have you cut extra holes in the bottom of the case where the rad is to let air through?

Gotta get me some glasses! I did my usual, read half way down the thread and then just post what I wanted to ask!

Doesn't look like you'll get a massive amount of airflow through those tiny gratings and they dont even cover it all.

If you don't have much time now then I'd just cut out a couple of square holes and put some tights over them, you can get fancy with some aluminium grids later

Could you not somehow raise the rad by an inch or so?

Should help with airflow a bit?

Nice going so far.

Is it me, or is your corsair psu on the first images running with a blocked fan from the case? Surely it would be better rotated 180 degrees?

steveo · 18 Feb 2008 at 22:59

would be nice if i could killer but corsair have not put the screw holes in the right place for that type of mounting
