Going Silent.

I was sick of hearing the huge fans of my NZXT Panzerbox. They were even loud through [Silent] on the Mobo settings, even with SpeedFan. So, I've decided to change for a silent, and Dust Free future. I have switched to a Fractal Design R2

These are the pictures from beginning to end, and just under 3 hours, these are the 'Silencing' stages

The original case.

and the non-joining side.

++ The new case

- Sorry if pictures are bad quality (iPhone 3G) + I also just want to show why big companies don't always care about their customers, designing crappy cases, and how good companies are sometimes better, with the excellent design + almost unhearable case - which doesn't really smell, like some people say it does

After 3 hours of re-assembly, nah

Will do it again + will put them here later. Its the fan controller thing that looks bad

Not sure why it says where I live

+ Can't wait to see your pics - see what I can improve

++ I also have a Molex power cable from the PSU, as the fans hardly spun with the other one. Makes it a little messy, but better cooling. Still silent though

Geo-Tagging is now off

- and this is the only place I upload photos from it too

+ Even if you wanted to steal my PC, you can fix the RAM first. Caused some BSoD recently

edit - (Touchwood) - they've stopped - for now
