zalman 9500 with modded fan and additional fan for push - pull configuration, would perform very solidly

Errm, just wondering, how would you go about that configuration?
Preferably with a pic or something...

Pity it doesn't have the Ninjas on it but this might help:

Does anyone have any pics of a scythe ninja in their case?

I would have thought that a Thermalright SI-120 & Akasa Amber 12cm fan would have been good enough, even for o/c'ing?

Very happy with my Thermaltake BT. CPU temp never goes above 55c while stress [email protected] with Prime 95. Even pushed my CPU to 3.1Ghz 32M Pi stable.

Thumbs up for the Thermaltake

Considering the Tunic beats the Ninja, and the Vanessa beats the Tunic - we have a winner:

Raikiri · 23 May 2006 at 18:16

Seena few reviews of the Vanessa a while ago, was somewhat underwhelming

I can't, not allowed to post links to competitors even if its on an auction site. But they can be found quite easily.

StevenG · 23 May 2006 at 23:21

ah i cant afford it. or find it. i'll just have to wait till next week and get the scythe ninja.

EDIT: ordered the scythe ninja

should be here tomorrow with my X2 3800 (bought off the MM)

lay-z-boy · 24 May 2006 at 18:35

Have fun trying to install it, pitfa.

TTBT is the best, grimey you need to stop humping the ninja, it isnt that good.

james.miller · 24 May 2006 at 18:44

StevenG · 24 May 2006 at 19:37

james.miller · 24 May 2006 at 19:39
