Hey frosty had an idea, leave rig as is, place a tasty :/ rustlers burger inside case + cold mug of tea, now have a long stint on TR, PC getting warm?? Pause game, open up side, remove tasty beverages and enjoy..... 15 mins later PC cooled down, back to TR!
Who says men cant cook!!

Lol! Not a bad shout this 230mm fan is going to put a sizeable dent in the GPU temps as well 
. Won't be able to cut it till next week now as need mates tools

Cheers, yeah the white LED give off a nice effect! Not normally into LED / fans etc
230mm fan arrived, time to mock up the side panel.

Sure that's not a steering wheel?? It's huge!!
Every little helps 
Should make a sizeable dent in ambient temps .
Bigger the better really as the rig is fairly quiet at the moment, adding a 180mm or lower would be a little too loud, or louder any who.

Cut, and flat and polished the edging for a factory finish. It's actually pretty thick which helped massively as normally it bows or cracks.
Make shift mounted it to test the benefit, then going to drill and mount with some bolt headed screws so it looks flush. LED out on the fan though so may get onto OCUK about that.

Utterly gorgeous, but I confess I'm confused as to what the benefits are of using quick disconnects? Surely you cant use them while the pump is running anyway? I'm new to watercooling so I probably just don't get it.
The drain valve however is a superb idea, will use that when I create a custom loop.

Depends how you use them, I've got it so I can remove the CPU block, the pumps/res and GPU block without having to drain the loop.

.How is the fan actually secured in place? Sticky stuff?
Also, forgive the question, is she intake or exhaust?

Awesome looking fan it looks mean !!!!

That fan looks evil, best keep small animals & children away from it (likely to get sucked in)
Has it made much difference to internal case temps?

It's currently attached by Velcro pads but intend to take them off and drill some screw holes at some point.
It's an intake, because there's no other clean source of air as I've maxed out rad space, under load it's knocked between 4 and 6 degrees off internal temps.. I've taken it off for now as even with the filter it's sucking in copius amounts of dust lol.
And finally I used xspc 1200rpm fans, but it's funny you should ask Neil as ones making a noise already and I'm having to chop it out. Might be a one off though. They're pretty quiet considering speed though. At 50% and 13 fans going the machine is practicably dead silent.
