Gone Gr33n, What do you think?
I was inspired by the We Are Gr33n Machine thread. I was planning on changing from the Zalman 9700LED to a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 to keep my temps in the summer down. I thought it was a good time to upgrade to quieter fans and change to gr33n.
Parts: 5 SilenX IXP-74-14G 120mm Green LED Case Fan Green Cathode Green Case feet Xigmatek HDT-S1283 SILVERSTONE FP33-B fan controller (didnt really need it) Lapping of CPU This is the before shot, I didnt have it turned on so you can see the blue.  After w/o flash  I also re-did the cable management to get rid of all the tape. Not really an impact of how it looks in the case, but i feel better about it being neater. Before  After  Lapping my CPU. I wasn't going for super shiny, just flat. Used 220, 400, and 800 grit paper. Then i finished out w/ some NeverDull to smooth it out. Start  Lapping my thumb in the process  After 220grit  After 400grit  After 800grit  Final finish after the NeverDull  The Xigmatek was a very tight fit in the Antec 900 case. I had to bend some of the bottom fins in where it touches the NB heatsink.  Silenx fan installed  AS5 on the heatsink  Mobo installed in case  Bairly clears the edge of the case  Fan controller installed  Testing of the cathodes  Completed shot  Hope you like it. I do. The Silenx fans are very quiet and they push alot of air. My idle dropped by about 8C. Load temps dropped enough so i can still keep my 3.2Ghz OC during the summer.
