I have a test bed to do this on a Lian Li motherboard tray with a PA160/DB-1/D-Tek FuZion..but I wanted to tidy it a bit.

A little show before we tell...


How do you like this tech station I pimped out? Lian Li MotherBoard Tray, Black and UV Red acrylic and aluminum base with a SATA DVD, Two Siverstone fan controllers with option for a third and three light switches to run three light kits. One is in the base to light Red UV backplane for the PSU...THermochill PA 160/DB-1/D-tek FuZion/ SilenX 90 cfm...Silverstone 560 Wat Continuous PSU....1 74 GB RAptor for the OS and two Seagate 7200.10 250 GB to bench on the RAID controller. Oh...and a pair of 1950pro for looks..


I got a buttload of fans to to test on the Quad so I might as well have fun with it


Silverstone FTW...keeps the underslung drives cool.


Acrylic and aluminum base. The SATA DVD and Silverstone PSU ar on rails and foam pads...silence...I took the red licorice off there eventually...


Lian Li tray with the LC kit. Underslung HDDs...


I got a PC7 and this is the first thing I removed...perfect fit with two unused mobo stand-off tappings. Gotta love Serendipity


I pop rivetted the little flange form the PC7 so it is truly all Lian Li--all removable...all aluminum...I think the whole tray might be a heatsink now


De-licoriced and coiled in a bundle with cable ties.

















The shroud on the Thermochill is rigged with long screws, nutted to the flange and I use thumbscrews to hold the fan in place. This will make it easy to test and change fan after fan...
