No mate , the connectors from my psu are black and have no pins showing, and the connectors from the fans are the same. there are 6 fans i need to connect as well so i need 3 of them do i? and thats if that connector above is all the pins showing, on all 3 connectors.

Doesn't that much lighting annoy you?

not in the slightest my friend

in fact I love it...like I said in one thread if boy racers can have neon lights on their beloved vehicles I for sure will have as much lighting as I can on my PC

you can never have too much lighting I say...

I meant for the CPU fan and the northbridge fan etc. I assume the answer is no, but wanted to check with people who already own the case (there has been some mention of fan controllers in the thread, thats all)

Cheers

If you mean the dual bay res/pump. It comes with two holes to fit two 5mm LEDs. and thats the lights you can see coming through. The others came with the fans on the case already.

here is the part in question:

You can still get a fan controller for fans connected to the motherboard. In my situation I would have gotten a fan controller if it wasnt for my dual bay res/pump to control the 3 fans on the back of my 360 rad.

I think its something i'll leave for now then and look to add later

Thanks

the side window panel is awful on antec 1200 as I couldn't fit 120mm fan on it because it too close to my push-pull fan at the bottom of the cpu cooler facing upward on the exhaust fan. Antec manufacturing should have lower the window side panel fan away from the cpu fan.

I had email antec about this problem as hopefully they will send me replacement new side window panel.

I'm thinking of getting the window modded by a specialist. I have contacted a couple of places and just waiting on some feedback. One company in the US quoted $125 and thats not including the return the shipping fee :/ stuff that!!

I have been looking at this for cable management ideas, has anyone got any more pics of a X58/i7 build on air?

Noddy- · 13 Aug 2009 at 20:42

The cable management is great on the 1200 I love it just need to redo mine at some point

My 1st build completed it about 2 weeks ago

Inside the Case

Need to buy some cable extenders when i get paid, also going to go for the corsair H50 aswell as the titan isnt giving me enough cooling

You appear not to have used any of it.

The ATX, Case Fans, all case cables (need to redo top exhaust and rear 2) and some power cables are behind motherboard tray, got bored half way through doing it (wanted to turn it on, to see if it works)

As I said in my post I need to buy some cable extensions the 8 pin is not long enough to be routed behind the tray, When I have what a need I will redo all the cables....

No need to act like a complete tool cause not every cable is hidden behind the tray

you need to sort the date on your camera then cos it says it was taken 19.08.2004, unless you're some sort of time traveller? :eek:

EDIT : and you should clean your room as well cos for two weeks thats a hell of a dirt collection on your front fans
